U.S. Based Youth and College Players Earning International Call-Ups in August 2025

(Pictured Above: South Shore Select standout and Cal 2026 commit Nina Mathelus is representing the Philippines senior team.)

As part of our coverage of American youth soccer and its impact on the global game, SoccerWire is providing monthly lists of players who are receiving call-ups for countries outside the United States.

Below is a running list of players who currently play their college or youth club soccer in America who are representing a country outside of the U.S. this August. Lists are determined when the player receives the official call-up, not necessarily when they are playing the games (In other words, if a player is announced for a call-up in April for games that are in May, the player will be included for the list in April).
