What Happened?
German-born Mahmoud Dahoud left Syria's international camp just hours before a World Cup qualifier due to an alleged row over 'demands'. The midfielder recently confirmed his switch of international allegiance from Germany to Syria.
Details of the Dispute
The 28-year-old, currently on loan to Bundesliga side Stuttgart from Brighton, had been set to make his debut for Syria in a match against Myanmar. However, he left the team camp after the Syrian FA stated they were unable to meet his demands, as conveyed by his agent.
Response and Outcome
Following his departure, Syria managed to secure a 7-0 victory over Myanmar. Dahoud may have to wait until June 6 to potentially make his debut for Syria. In a social media post, he emphasized the importance of players performing at their best for their national team and cited the need for optimal conditions on the pitch.
Fifa Regulations and Future Prospects
Fifa rules stipulate that a player can switch national teams if they have played no more than three games for their current nation before turning 21. Dahoud had only made 14 appearances for Brighton before returning to Germany on loan. Several English players, including Kobbie Mainoo and Anthony Gordon, still retain eligibility to switch nations.
