Thursday, March, 12 2026 - Borussia Dortmund midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka has officially switched his international allegiance from England to Austria.
Chukwuemeka, who was born in Vienna to Nigerian parents, will now be
eligible to represent Austria at the 2026 FIFA World Cup later this year.
The 22-year-old previously represented
England at youth level but has now opted to commit his senior international
future to Austria after completing the required process with FIFA.
With the switch now officially
ratified, Chukwuemeka could make his debut for Austria later this month when
the team plays international friendlies against Ghana and South Korea on March
27 and March 31.
Austria, managed by Ralf Rangnick,
will compete in Group J at the World Cup alongside defending champions
Argentina, Jordan, and Algeria.
At international level, Chukwuemeka
will join a squad that includes stars such as David Alaba, Marcel Sabitzer,
Konrad Laimer, and Marko Arnautović.
