The governing body has ruled that Nikita Khaikin, the Russian-born goalkeeper for Norwegian club Bodø\u002FGlimt, is ineligible to represent the Norwegian national team. This decision comes shortly after Khaikin obtained Norwegian citizenship, a move that was expected to clear his path to international duty.\n\nJan Petter Saltvedt, a journalist for Norwegian broadcaster NRK, voiced the collective disbelief. He stated that while national team coach Ståle Solbakken had prepared for a potential hurdle, the ruling still came as a shock. FIFA's position is that Khaikin does not meet all of their specific eligibility criteria, a stance Saltvedt finds peculiar.\n\nThe journalist highlighted an apparent contradiction in the process. He noted that acquiring a Norwegian passport is typically a far more rigorous and demanding procedure than obtaining clearance from an international sports federation. Yet, in this instance, the federation's approval has proven to be the more difficult obstacle to overcome. Saltvedt suggested FIFA is attempting to make a peculiar statement through this decision, with the player himself bearing the unfortunate consequences.\n\nThe timing of the ruling has created a frantic scramble for the Norwegian Football Federation. They are now rushing to file an official appeal. The deadline for submitting the final squad for the upcoming FIFA World Cup is this coming Monday. Khaikin's inclusion in the team is entirely contingent on the success of this appeal.\n\nShould the appeal be rejected, the situation will be remembered as a sad story of unfulfilled potential. A player who fulfilled the national requirements for citizenship would be barred from representing his new country on the world's biggest stage due to a technical ruling from the sport's international authority. The entire episode underscores the complex and sometimes frustrating intersection of nationality rules and sporting eligibility.\n\nThe Norwegian federation is working tirelessly to resolve the matter before the clock runs out. The outcome of their appeal will determine whether Nikita Khaikin gets the chance to wear the national jersey or is forced to watch the World Cup from the sidelines. The football world awaits FIFA's final decision.\n\nBased on reporting from Чемпионат.com.","news","Norwegian football officials express shock after FIFA denies Russian-born goalkeeper Nikita Khaikin eligibility to play for Norway despite his new citizenship. An urgent appeal is underway before the World Cup squad deadline.","328185357260558337","0","2026-05-08T12:48:45Z","norway-stunned-by-fifa-s-decision-to-block-goalkeeper-nikita-khaikin-from","Championat","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.championat.com\u002Ffootball\u002Fnews-6460858-my-udivleny-v-norvegii-otreagirovali-na-zapret-fifa-vystupat-hajkinu-za-sbornuyu.html","326222712395534336","Norway",[72,75,76,77,78,79,80,81],"326222707169431552","326257532714618880","326257539962376192","326257545754710016","326257546392244224","326257554411753472","326257556324356096",[73,83,84,85,86,87,88,89],"Anderlecht","Al Sadd","Como","Newcastle","Nottingham Forest","Newcastle Jets","Newells Old Boys","Norway Stunned by FIFA's Decision to Block Goalkeeper Nikita Khaikin from National Team",[92,124,156,181],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":64,"excerpt":93,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":94,"leagueId":29,"leagueName":30,"matchId":67,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":95,"slug":96,"sourceName":97,"sourceURL":98,"teamId":99,"teamName":100,"teamIds":101,"teamNames":112,"title":123},"Guéla Doué scored and assisted as Ivory Coast beat France 2-1 in a friendly, outshining his brother Désiré who featured for Les Bleus in the sibling showdown.","338200147588550657","2026-06-05T04:00:00Z","guela-doue-downs-brother-s-france-ivorian-2-1-win","L'Equipe","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.lequipe.fr\u002FFootball\u002FArticle\u002FUn-but-et-une-passe-decisive-contre-la-france-la-soiree-de-reve-pour-guela-doue-avec-la-cote-d-ivoire\u002F1681944#at_medium=RSS_feeds","326222712533946368","Ivory Coast",[99,102,103,104,105,106,107,108,109,110,111,75],"326222711447621632","326255037997125632","326257536145559552","326222711401484288","326222767416414208","326257536078450688","326257536296554496","326257537865224192","326257686389723136","326257535994564608",[100,113,114,115,116,117,118,119,120,121,122,83],"France","Strasbourg","Rennes","Belgium","Lesotho","Paris Saint Germain","Auxerre","Estoril","Together","Nantes","Guéla Doué downs brother's France: Ivorian 2-1 win",{"awayTeamId":125,"awayTeamName":126,"body":-1,"category":64,"excerpt":127,"homeTeamId":128,"homeTeamName":129,"id":130,"leagueId":29,"leagueName":30,"matchId":131,"matchName":132,"publishedAt":133,"slug":134,"sourceName":135,"sourceURL":136,"teamId":128,"teamName":129,"teamIds":137,"teamNames":146,"title":155},"326222712622026752","South Africa","Shakira & Burna Boy sing 'Dai Dai' at 2026 World Cup opener June 11 in Mexico City, with J Balvin, Tyla.
