Nationality change is a complex decision, admits goalkeeper Alionzi Nafian
Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) Football Club goalkeeper Nafian Legason Alionzi is yet to decide on whether he will change the citizenship from being a Ugandan to South Sudanese national.
Alionzi was one of the non-South Sudanese nationals who were recently summoned to be part of the South Sudan national football team should they accept and get formally registered.
It is big honour to be thought of for any national team duty. Personally I am honoured. But, I am yet to decide whether to change citizenship. I have to first sit down and recollect myself. I am to involve all the people around me, including my close family members.

Needs time:
The URA FC goalkeeper has admitted that he will need some ample time to come up with a good decision.
I will need time to come up with a good decision because it is a complex one. However, in the coming weeks, I will come up with the decision.
