Swiss football federation apologises for declaration of dual citizenship

The Swiss football federation (SFV) has apologised for a debate over citizens of dual citizenship, which he had personally urged. “W caused several mistakes and an external effect that had never been thought of” has been achieved, SFV President Peter Gilliéron explains.
Since their return to the country after the removal of the World Cup, federation has been in critical criticism.

Secretary General Alex Myescher triggered an avalanche with his statements against saying that the status of citizens with dual citizenship. “Do we want double nationals?”, accused Meescher in an intervestance with “Tags-Anzeiger” and “NZZ”, broadcast Albinfo.ch.
The replica from its ranks did not last long. “Non sense” had declared Granit Jaka during an interview. I think that Alex has questioned his comments of Stone Time to citizens with dual citizenship”.

The central Albanian midfielder of Arsenal was not the only one who personally accepted Myescher's difficult speech. In Jaka's case, however, further shocks can no longer be expected: “There are such nonsense happening from time to time. We now have to prepare for the European Championship and do more important things”.

The Federation has distanced itself from Meschler's statement firmly. We are very sorry that citizens with dual citizenship have felt discredited after an interview by SFV Secretary-General”, says President Peter Gilliéron. The SFV acts as an umbrella organisation after all its footballers, despite multiple citizenships.

Integration and promotion of all athletes is a fundamental guiding principle. That's why the board discussed <x0in acids” and will conduct a complete analysis in all areas in the coming weeks”, Gilliéron says. Also considered will be “the role and responsibilities”.
