According to Fifa eligibility rules, a player needs to be a British citizen to be able to represent one of the UK teams.
So far, Enzo has been able to play for the Welsh youth teams as he has a birth certificate proving he was born in Cardiff.
But from the age of 16, the Welsh youth teams start playing qualifiers for the Euros and the World Cup, which means travelling abroad.
Enzo does not have a British passport which means he will not be able to represent Wales.
In his case, the decision to reject his citizenship application was based on the British Nationality Act 1981. Under this legislation, to qualify for citizenship at least one parent must be a British citizen or have settled permanently in the United Kingdom.
Enzo’s father, Antonio Romano, had lived and worked in Wales for a decade and believed he held permanent residency status.
However, according to the Home Office’s decision, he did not meet the required salary threshold for five consecutive years at the time.
The UK government has a document which sets out guidelines for submitting a British citizenship application for a child.
Those guidelines do not state that a person needs to earn a minimum wage in order to be considered an “employed person”.
