Why there is growing excitement in Finland over the future of Man City left-back Tomas Galvez
17.11.2023 - 14:19 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
When Tomas Galvez made his international debut for Finland in January, it was a huge moment of pride for his multi-national family. But it wasn't a firm decision on Galvez's part that he would represent the country for the rest of his career.
His first cap came in a friendly, meaning he would still be able to represent another country - and he qualifies for both England and Spain. Finland offers Galvez a chance to play international football at a higher level than his other two options, but the Manchester City academy left-back is ambitious and is purely focused on development at this stage of his career.
Now, Galvez is set to make his competitive debut for Finland this week, taking him a step closer to locking in the Nordic country as his international team going forward. In Helsinki, there is plenty of excitement over his potential in a position that has plagued the Finnish for years.

New FIFA rules mean players can still switch international allegiance if they have played no more than three competitive matches at senior level before turning 21. Even if Galvez, 18, plays against Northern Ireland on Friday and San Marino on Monday, he would still technically be able to represent England or Spain in future.
Finland can't qualify automatically for Euro 2024, but will be part of the play-offs to try and secure one of the final three spots, owing to their performance in the Nations League. If Galvez impresses in November, he could be involved in March and seal Finland as his international team.
