Borussia Dortmund midfielder, Carney Chukwuemeka, has officially changed his international allegiance from England to Austria.
The 22-year-old, who was born in Vienna to Nigerian parents, has now committed his international future to Austria and will be eligible to represent the country at the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Chukwuemeka previously featured for England at youth level during his early international career.
The former Aston Villa and Chelsea midfielder is now cleared to play for Austria after FIFA approved his request to switch national teams.
He could make his debut for the Austrian national side later this month when coach Ralf Rangnick leads the team in international friendlies against Ghana on March 27 and South Korea on March 31.
Austria will also compete in Group J of the World Cup, where they are scheduled to face reigning champions Argentina, as well as Jordan and Algeria.
In the Austrian squad, Chukwuemeka will line up alongside notable players including David Alaba, who is also of Nigerian descent, Marcel Sabitzer, Konrad Laimer and Marko Arnautović.
