aït nouri

Aït Nouri is Algerian and plays for the Algerian national team. He is in FIFA now, but his nationality is French. Could you please correct it?

  • In all fairness, he was born in France and has dual citizenship, so it's not like they're wrong. They just don't have the space in the database to denote multi-nationals.

    @energystar234 bro There are Bouanani and many others who changed their nationality and in the game they gave them the Algerian flag. Are you kidding me or what?

    He didn't change his nationality. He's exactly what he has always been: Algerian and French. Balogun didn't become American because he represents the US national team. He's still listed as English in the EA database.

    Now, do I think that EA should do a better job of recognizing multi-nationals, especially from underrepresented countries? Absolutely.

    Do I think that Aït Nouri should count towards any "Assist 6 goals with players from Algeria" objective? Definitely. But he should also count for any "Assist 6 goals with players from France" objective, too.

    Bottom line is that it's not wrong to say he's French. It's incomplete, yes, but it would also be incomplete to say that he's only Algerian.

  • Many players are eligible to represent more than one nation however once the player has represented a senior national team (not at youth level) they can not change their footballing nationality again unless there is extreme circumstances such as the nation itself changes or ceases to exist.

    Ait Nouri has only recently earned his first Algerian cap (this month) so yes @youcefghechim you are correct, he should be updated in game. 

    I am not sure if he will get updated before launch though as the squads will contain player info from the start of the 23/24 major leagues.  Most likely he will get updated in one of the first squad updates.
