Dominic Kantorowicz Joins U.S. Men’s National Team After Nationalization
In a major boost for U.S. Soccer, rising star Dominic Kantorowicz has officially been nationalized and will now represent the United States on the international stage. The 22-year-old midfielder, known for his dynamic playmaking and vision on the field, has been granted U.S. citizenship and is set to join the U.S. Men’s National Team (USMNT) for upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
Born in Berlin, Germany, Kantorowicz made his name in the Bundesliga, playing for the youth teams of top German clubs before making a breakthrough with FC Augsburg’s senior squad. His impressive performances in domestic competitions caught the attention of U.S. Soccer scouts, who have long been monitoring his development. Kantorowicz’s dual nationality, with a U.S. citizen parent, made the process of switching national teams possible.
Kantorowicz’s decision to join the USMNT is seen as a significant one for both the player and U.S. Soccer, as the country seeks to build a competitive squad for future international tournaments, including the 2026 World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the United States. His technical ability and versatility in midfield make him a valuable asset for head coach Gregg Berhalter, who has been keen to add fresh talent to the national team setup.
Speaking about the decision, Kantorowicz said, “I’m excited and honored to be joining the U.S. national team. It’s a new chapter in my career, and I’m ready to give my all for the country that has supported me throughout my life.”
Kantorowicz is expected to make his debut for the USMNT in the next set of international friendlies, with fans eager to see how his style complements the team’s evolving tactics.
