## Players

A player is eligible to represent Samoa if they have a Samoan parent or grandparent. In 2021 Samoa held trials in Auckland, New Zealand to identify players from the diaspora who could represent it. It also identified potential players in the United States and Europe. In 2022 the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in Samoa-based players being excluded in favour of diaspora players.
