Today (Wednesday), the Football Association appealed to the Ministry of Culture and Sports in order to speed up the process of granting citizenship to the Spanish defender of Maccabi Tel Aviv, Enrik Saborit.
The Yellows approached the Minister of the Interior, Ayelet Shaked according to about a month in order to allow the player to receive permanent resident status, given the fact that he meets all the criteria.
The request came after officials in the association realized that there is a short window of opportunity before the elections in Israel that will be held in early November, to make the Spaniard a national team player like Miguel Vitor from Hapoel Be'er Sheva, so they joined his team's request.
In the letter of request sent to the Minister of Sports Hili Trooper, it was written, among other things, that the player and his wife built their future in Israel and often expressed their willingness to stay in Israel even after the end of Saborit's career.
It was also said that the Spaniard has not played in any national framework, and the very fact that he is a role model can contribute and help the team professionally in the form of qualifying for a major tournament.
