passes  # 1 "''Players who have played in, and managers who have managed in any Tier 1 International Match, as defined by FIFA...are notable. The notability of these is accepted..."'' The latter part means, that under this guideline, sources for passing GNG are dispensed with. So let's have a look at what is a Tier 1 International Match: The FIFA regulations say: "''...a tier 1 International Match shall mean any International Match in which both of teams participating are the "A" Representative Teams of the Members concerned, '''or an International Match involving a Scratch Team'''."'' That means if the match is authorized by FIFA, and one team is a national team of a FIFA member they may play against a "scratch team" to satisfy the Tier 1 requirements. A "scratch team" is defined as a ''"team brought together on a one-off basis, containing active players registered with clubs playing in the highest division of a Member that are not affiliated to the same Member".'' IMO that includes a "national team" of an unrecognized nation that is made up, at least partially, by players playing in leagues in FIFA members. http://www.kosovapress.com/en/nacional-sports/kosova-to-face-turkey-in-its-second-international-friendly-12086/ this source says ''"second international friendly match Fifa-sanctioned."'' http://www.dailysabah.com/football/2014/05/22/turkey-beat-kosovo-in-friendly-61 this source says that the previous match against Haiti was "''Kosovo's first match approved by the international governing body FIFA''" See http://resources.fifa.com/mm/document/affederation/administration/02/26/13/86/circularno.1402-friendlygameswithteamsofthefootballfederationofkosovo_neutral.pdf here for the Kosovo - FIFA agreement
