• Answer:

  Unless you have European grandparents or parents you have a problem. You'd need a work permit to play football in England. Because Europe doesn't want to be flooded by say African players (who just want to get out of poverty) they require that you have played for a national team at some level. Seriously, you need to show you are that talented to get a work permit. No matter how good you are - the rules are that strict. As you are residing in the US, it suggests that you are not a UN national, in which case - assuming non-European, you'd need to have played for your national team (either parents or grandparents) at some age level. "To issue a Certificate of Sponsorship the club will need to obtain an endorsement for the player from the appropriate governing body for his sport confirming that the player is internationally established as a player or coach at the highest level, and will make a significant contribution to the development of football at the highest level in the UK. As a result Certificates of Sponsorship can usually only be issued to international football players of the “highest calibre” who are considered able to make a significant contribution to the development of the game of football in the United Kingdom at the highest level. The current rules define a player as automatically being of the highest calibre provided: (1) they have played for their country in at least 75% of its competitive A team matches in the two years preceding the application; and (2) the player’s country must be at or above 70th place in the official FIFA world rankings.
