The Swiss Football Association is seriously considering renouncing dual nationality in the national team in the future. Even in circles please, the proposal is severely criticized.

The fact that Granit Xhaka, Xherdan Shaqiri and Co. are not on a field while the employees of their clubs in an international match becomes clear at the latest by playing the national anthem. The TV audience records very accurately whether or not the immigrant players sing with Schweizerpsalm. S addressing to this fact, Valon Behrami told the NZZ in 2015: "When the national anthem is played, I do not sing. But it is quite normal for me to have different emotions than those of someone born in Switzerland. "The footballer, born in Kosovo today, was disappointed that he and some of his teammates are subject to such a lack of loyalty.
Diplomats in shorts
But the doubles Citizens of the national team are not ordinary double citizens, they are, so to speak, diplomats in shorts, representing their (new) homeland in the eyes of the global public, so the statements in this context have enormous potential This is well known to the Swiss Football Federation (SFV), so it is all the more surprising that SFV Secretary General Alex Miescher fueled the fire on Friday in an interview with the Swiss Football Association (SFV). NZZ: "At the top of politics, one may wonder: do we want dual nationality, or should we decide to have a nationality after a certain age?"
As expected, Friday's proposal caused a huge echo, but the atmosphere after the so-called double eagle in the match against Serbia is particularly fueled. The tenor on Miescher's statement in social networks is virtually unanimous. In addition, Roger Federer, Stan Wawrinka and several other successful Swiss athletes are citizens for two reasons.
Most likely to expect SVP representatives to applaud football officials. In recent years, this party has repeatedly asked the National Council and the cantonal parliaments that Switzerland does not grant more dual nationality. In addition, loyalty to Switzerland has been questioned by dual citizens in special offices such as border guards and diplomats. All these attacks in the political arena have clearly been rejected. This attitude of the majority is false, but to accept, explains the National Council SVP of St. Gall, Roland Rino Büchel, who himself submitted an initiative on this issue
"Obscure own inability" [19659008] For Miescher's proposal but he left a jerk of his head: "Cheaper and more stupid, it does not really work anymore." The football association diverts attention because he's failed in terms of leadership in the Doppeladler case. "Büchel knows what he's talking about, but he worked for the sports marketing company ISL and his recruitment company Fifa Marketing AG. Peter Gilliéron, president of the association, general secretary Alex Miescher and national coach Vladimir Petkovic had completely underestimated the political explosiveness and atmosphere in the team before the match against Serbia, criticized the politician SVP. For example, Shaqiri should never have been allowed on the ground with a Kosovo flag on his shoes. "In retrospect, to spark a fundamental discussion about dual nationality, apparently to hide their own disability," says Büchel.
In fact, the Swiss Football Federation has in recent years, in terms of the integration of dual citizens, implemented a strategy very different from the current one. Discussion pose. At least since the experience with the outstanding football players Mladen Petric and Ivan Rakitic, who were socialized and trained in Switzerland, but then decided to play for the country of origin of their parents, Croatia, they are alarmed by the SFV.
Effort for Double Citizens
In 2009, the Swiss under-17 team was surprisingly world champion with a selection of many Seconds. The euphoria aroused by this unexpected triumph soon mingled with the anxiety that one or the other of the promising talents would someday play for his parents' homeland. The SFV immediately assured that it would do everything possible so that the many double citizens of the under-17 world champion team continue to play for Switzerland. "Ottmar Hitzfeld will have personal talks with the juniors," said SFV President Peter Gilliéron, reassuring the concerned Swiss football nation. The young footballers had to confess to the national team.
Miescher apparently does not think of such soft measures, as he suggests in the interview: "We hear a lot of promises, then the players are 21 years old and play for another country." National Councilor Büchel can argue shakes your head. You can not force a footballer to play for a particular country. "On the other hand, it would be possible for the Football Association to include clauses in contracts with young players to reimburse a certain amount if they were trained in Switzerland but were not playing for our country."
19659008] that Secondos should play as possible for Switzerland, is undoubtedly in the Association. Apparently, within the SFV, there are even efforts to link talented players with foreign roots to the Swiss Football Association as soon as possible. Of course, with the hope of being able to benefit from this early proximity after naturalization. It is therefore not surprising that Gilliéron has, in the past, shown little understanding of the current practice of naturalization in Switzerland. In 2009, he strongly criticized the Swiss authorities: "It would be good if naturalisations were facilitated for young foreigners, we would welcome faster and more positive naturalization decisions."
The stumbling block n & # It was no less the prolonged naturalization of Josip Drmic. Drmic, who now plays in the Swiss national team, failed with his first two naturalization pleadings in the Schwyz Freienbach community. Only in the third attempt he worked for the native Croats, who scored in the first-round match against Costa Rica a goal, with the Swiss passport
