Maximum number of countries you could represent?

[Deadlock]

My son could conceivably represent England, Japan or the United States. I believe that is the most geographically diverse list yet on this thread - three different continents.

However, he first needs to start showing the slightest interest in football, which to date at age 6 he is yet to do.

My uncle's children similarly. They qualify for Canada (place of birth), India (my uncle's PoB), England (grandfather's PoB), and Burma (grandmother's PoB). Unlikely to happen, though, as the youngest is in his mid-forties now.

'ancestry' whatever that means

Ancestry defined and how I meant it (sense 1 of the first definition shown)

While of course generally aware of the grandparent criterion, I got crossed up on eligibility rules for a reason that is simple enough to explain, but I'm not about to bother --this being, after all, just some football spazboard and not a peer-reviewed academic curriculum to be undertaken with the utmost solemnity and seriousness, etc

The rest of what was there smacks at first glance --and I didn't spare it a second-- of personal matters of no interest or concern to me

So that's the subject covered to my satisfaction and me having moved on from it then

England and Wales for me (my Dad's Mum being Welsh n'all)

Kits Jnrs 1 +2 can only play for England though, because I believe Great-Grandparents don't count...... yet!
