The meaning of the goalkeeper's decision concerns not only the champion, as mentioned, but also the Israeli national team.
According to FIFA rules, a naturalized citizen must reside for five consecutive years in the country that granted him citizenship before he can represent it. Cohen still has 16 months left to complete the necessary period of time, and the goal of the heads of the soccer association was that if he continues in his current form, the goalkeeper will join the squad in the next campaign. However, from an examination it became clear that his transfer to another league would, in the eyes of FIFA, invalidate the entire period he stayed in Israel and would definitively eliminate his chances of playing for the Israeli national team.
