The 16-year-old is the latest of Republic FC's homegrown players to represent the Indomitable Club with their respective national teams, combining for 19 selections since the start of 2024. Earlier this year, defender Chibi Ukaegbu joined the U20 U.S. Men's Youth National Team for training camp and scrimmages against the U.S. Men's National Team and Nashville SC.

Since the launch of the club's Youth Academy in 2015, over 70 players have been selected to represent their respective nations on the international stage, participating in various national team programs including training camps, competitions, and Regional ID Centers.
