Foreign players

In the Greek league only five non-EU nationals can be registered and given a squad number for the first team. Those non-EU nationals with European ancestry can claim citizenship from the nation their ancestors came from. If a player does not have European ancestry he can claim Greek citizenship after playing in Greece for 7 years. Players such as Manduca are not registered as non-EU because they have dual citizenship with an EU country.
