Olympique Marseille forward Mason Greenwood is reportedly close to switching his international allegiance to Jamaica, having formally requested a change of sporting nationality.

At 23 years old, the former Manchester United player could make his debut for the Reggae Boys in upcoming international competitions including the Concacaf Gold Cup and World Cup qualifiers.

Although Greenwood played one match for England’s senior national team in 2020, FIFA regulations allow players to switch federations under certain conditions, providing the player has played no more than three official matches for their first national team before turning 21.

Since Greenwood only played a friendly match for England 5 years ago and has not been called up since, he now meets the eligibility criteria to represent Jamiaca , the country of his parents’ origin. However, this decision is permanent, meaning he would not be able to switch back to England in the future.

If FIFA approves his nationality switch, Greenwood could make his Jamaica debut in their upcoming matches, as the Reggae Boyz under head coach Steve Mclaren, look to strengthen their squad ahead of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers.

Greenwood’s potential inclusion would be a huge boost for Jamaica, which has recently added several England-born players with Jamaican heritage, such as Michail Antonio and Leon Bailey.
