Fails WP:GNG - hasn't been the subject of significant coverage in reliable sources. Also fails WP:NSPORTS, hasn't played in a tier 1 international match as per
[1]. Northern Mariana Islands are not FIFA-affiliated, therefore can't play tier 1 international matches.

Strong Keep North marina islands may not be a member of FIFA but they are a member of the AFC, in a similar way to the gibraltar team. Also, he passes
WP:GNG for acceptable coverage of being the oldest international outfield player in recent times. — Preceding

Comment - Gibraltar are part of FIFA, they are not similar at all. NMI are ineligible to qualify for the World Cup.

Delete - Since the international matches he played were not Tier 1, the article does not meet
WP:NSPORT.
