WoW, I haven't meet any football player. It was my dream which today come true. I don't know why an football player ask this question on DP rather then directly contacting with Twitter team.
I spent my 5 minutes & get what you need here is the link. https://support.twitter.com/articles/119135
Then what else can we help you. We can't help you on approving Twitter account when they clearly stated "We do not accept requests for verification from the general public. If you fall under one of the above categories and your Twitter account meets our qualifications for verification, we may contact you in the future."
That won't be the name he's trying to get verified. I suspect I know the account but it links back to a facebook account of someone with a completely different name. If you really want to be invited to be verified this is what I'd do create twitter accounts from IPs around the world that are fakes of the account you want verified each account needs hundreds of tweets and thousands of followers the accounts then need to start deceiving users in some way - sending donations? asking them to abuse other players? you complain about the fake accounts so that Twitter have to moderate all the accounts they then verify your real account to make you stand out from the fakes which may pop up in the future
