International Career
Cudicini has been capped at Under-18 and Under-21 level, but has yet to appear for his country of birth. He was called into the squad for the 2002 friendly against Turkey but was not named in the matchday squad, behind Gianluigi Buffon and Francesco Toldo.
The FA have previously claimed he could become eligible to represent England, although as is the case with Mikel Arteta he cannot. He would not eligible for England because FIFA Statutes stipulate that the player needs to have held a British passport at the time when he represented Italy at the U16 European Championship, and would have required five years of education in Britain before turning 18.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“The 19-year-old Diana ... decided to make her career that of wife. Today that can be a very, very iffy line of work.... And what sometimes happens to the women who pursue it is the best argument imaginable for teaching girls that they should always be able to take care of themselves.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
