Nathaniel Brown, the Frankfurt-based youngster making waves in the Bundesliga, has fueled rumors about a potential switch from the German Football Association (DFB) to the US national team (USMNT). In a candid conversation with "Sport Bild," the 21-year-old left-back hinted at the 2026 World Cup as his ultimate goal, alluding to a possible representation of the USA. His father is an American citizen, adding to the intrigue.
Before taking steps towards the Lone Star Nation, Brown has set his sights on the U21 European Championship in Slovakia this summer. "We'll see about that later," said the Frankfurt hotshot, who's been turning heads recently with his stellar performances. Despite the buzz generated by his on-field exploits, Brown admitted he hasn't received any contact from the national team coach just yet.
The move from 2. Bundesliga club, 1. FC Nürnberg, to Eintracht Frankfurt last season has proven to be a game-changer for Brown. Initially finding it hard to crack the starting lineup and sitting on the bench for the initial seven games of the top flight, Brown has since become a regular, featuring as a left-back or in left midfield.

As US Soccer eyes the 2026 World Cup, dual-national talent like Brown is seen as a valuable asset to bolster the national team's defense, especially since the tournament will be partially held in the United States. Despite intense interest, Brown has kept quarters tight regarding his international future, with no official announcement or definitive update on a switch from Germany to the US as of April and early May 2025.
Meanwhile, Brown's future at club level is on steadier ground. A recent contract extension with Eintracht Frankfurt until 2030 reflects the club's faith in his development and performances this season. Yet, this club success doesn't directly impact his international decision.
So, while the USMNT eagerly awaits Brown's decision, there's no concrete news about him making a move or committing to the US national team just yet. Stay tuned for more updates on this captivating story!
