Weak keep. Several sources indicate that he played for East Timor in 2010 AFF Suzuki Cup qualification. [1] [2] [3] [4] The match reports on the official website don't include the line-ups though which is really annoying. Argyle 4 Life^talk 04:42, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:NSPORTS. this line-up shows he started (and was subbed) against Cambodia, this shows he played 90 mins against Laos. All other evidence seems to confirm he played 2 internationals in Tiger Cup qualifying which are FIFA A-international level matches, so contrary to nom statement, he has played for his country. --ClubOranje^T 10:23, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – Since it's been shown that this player has competed at the international level, he meets WP:NSPORTS. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 21:09, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
