For Oosterwolde to be eligible for the A National Team, he must play active football in Turkey for 5 years.

Fenerbahçe's successful player Jayden Oosterwolde excited Turkish football fans with his latest post on his social media account. 

NATIONAL TEAM SURPRISE FROM OOSTERWOLDE

The Dutch player, who shared a photo taken in a national team training shirt with his followers, quickly became a trending topic on social media. The yellow-navy blue fans interpreted this shot of the 22-year-old player as "A sign for the A National Team?" while discussions began about whether Oosterwolde could wear the Crescent-Star jersey.

THE 5-YEAR RULE FOR THE NATIONAL TEAM

For Oosterwolde to be able to play for the Turkish A National Team, he must meet certain conditions according to FIFA rules. Although he has played for the Dutch National Team in youth categories, the doors are not completely closed for the young player who has not yet played an official match at the A team level. However, for a football player to later play for another country's national team through citizenship ties: They must reside and play professional football continuously for at least 5 years in the relevant country (Turkey). Oosterwolde, who transferred to Fenerbahçe at the beginning of 2023, must continue his career in Turkey in the coming years to complete this period and make an A National Team choice.

INTENSE INTEREST FROM FANS

After the image was widely shared on social media, fans agreed that Oosterwolde's ambition and physical quality would greatly strengthen the national team.
