Mason Greenwood’s International Future Takes a New Twist as Surprising FIFA Update Emerges
Mason Greenwood’s future on the international stage has taken an unexpected turn, with FIFA yet to receive a formal application from the Manchester City striker to switch his affiliation to Jamaica. The development has left fans and observers alike wondering if the English forward will be able to revive his international career.
As you may recall, Greenwood made his sole England appearance as a substitute against Iceland in 2020 before being sent home along with Phil Foden following a breach of Covid-19 protocols. Since then, he has not been considered for the national team due to various reasons.
However, the 23-year-old’s Jamaican heritage has thrown a twist into the equation. Recent reports suggest that Greenwood has been in talks with the Reggae Boyz coaching staff, led by former England boss Steve McClaren, about making a move to the Caribbean nation. If successful, he could represent Jamaica in international tournaments, including the CONCACAF Nations League.
FIFA’s delay in processing Greenwood’s application has placed his chances of switching association in jeopardy. The football governing body has yet to receive a formal "change of association request" from the forward, which leaves him ineligible to play for the Reggae Boyz.
The uncertainty surrounding Greenwood’s international future has significant implications for Jamaica’s sporting prospects. The Reggae Boyz will face off against Nicaragua and Honduras during the upcoming international break in the CONCACAF Nations League, with McClaren’s side desperate for success.
In an era of constant change and uncertainty in international football, Greenwood’s potential switch to Jamaica sends a clear message: any player, regardless of past mistakes, deserves a chance to revive their career through international football.
