FC Cincinnati News Release


Nine FC Cincinnati players will represent their respective national teams during the March FIFA International Window, which runs from March 23-31 and is the final international break before this summer's FIFA World Cup in North America.

Five FC Cincinnati players will represent their country at the senior international level: Miles Robinson (United States), Pavel Bucha (Czechia), Kévin Denkey (Togo), Teenage Hadebe (Zimbabwe) and Bryan Ramirez (Ecuador).

For Robinson and Ramirez, the window represents an opportunity to make a final strong impression for their World Cup-bound nations while Bucha and Czechia seek to qualify for this summer's tournament through the last-chance UEFA World Cup Qualification Playoffs. Denkey and Hadebe will represent their countries in international friendlies.

Three FC Cincinnati players will represent their country at the youth international level: Ademar Chávez (United States U17), Samuel Gidi (Slovakia U21) and Gerardo 'Dado' Valenzuela (United States U21). Additionally, FC Cincinnati 2's Andrei Chirila (United States U18) earned a call-up this window.

Gidi and the Slovakia U21 team continue qualification efforts for the 2027 UEFA European U21 Championships. Chávez, Valenzuela and Chirila's U.S. youth call-ups each are part of camps as part of the Federation's continued focus on the U.S. Way philosophy, which emphasizes increased programming for Youth National Teams to create more opportunities for young players to advance through the pathway to the senior National Team with the goal of representing their country at a world championship.
