- Keep Player plays for Al-Nahda in Oman Professional league in Oman which is in its second season now. There is a fully professional league in Oman and Oman gets one AFC Champions League play-off place. Also the player has scored 3 goals in AFC Cup. The second biggest club football competition in Asia. Isn't that enough? Alhosniomani20 ( talk) 10:54, 2 August 2014 (MCT)
- Comment - unfortunately, the base level for notability required by WP:NFOOTY is that he has played in a fully professional league or played senior international football unless other achievements that have gained significant, reliable coverage in non- routine sources can establish GNG (i.e. not just match reports, transfer news, etc). Continental competition appearances can according to current consensus satisfy NFOOTY as long as they are in matches between two teams that play in FPLs. In this instance there is no consensus that the Omani is fully professional and this article indicates that at the start of last season, although steps were being taken to get to a fully professional level, it was not there yet, so players in the Omani League would not be inherently notable unless they have played senior international football or played in an FPL in another country.
