Caprile has obtained Albanian citizenship, but changing national team requires more
Cagliari goalkeeper Elia Caprile has become an Albanian citizen. He has no direct family roots in Albania, but he obtained citizenship because he is married to an Albanian woman. Caprile had been called up by the Italian national team without ever taking the field, and with an Albanian passport he would have the option to represent Albania. Sources make clear, however, that citizenship alone is not enough: the FIFA regulations also apply.
