No harm in giving athletes citizenship for 'national agenda', says Puad


supreme council member Puad Zarkashi has defended the government’s decision to grant citizenship to the seven “heritage” football players sanctioned by the International Federation of Association Football (Fifa).

“Why must we politicise ‘heritage’ players’ citizenship? What’s wrong in giving them citizenship in the interest of ‘national agenda’?” he asked on Facebook today.
