We have as many as 23 youth internationals!
Call-ups to the youth national teams
The other day, we informed you about the call-ups our players received for the senior national teams. However, those are far from all of our internationals. In the youth age categories, that number is even much higher. Dinamo has as many as 23 youth internationals representing different countries!
Let's start with the U-21 national team. Fran Topić and Noa Mikić received a call-up from the Croatia head coach for the friendly match against Germany.
Dani Rodríguez plays for the Spanish national team at that age level.
Four of our players - Niko Željković, Nikola Radnić, Gabrijel Šivalec and Krešimir Radoš - have made themselves available to the Croatia U-19 head coach for the European Championship qualifiers.
Call-ups for the same age group were also received by Belarusian Egor Molchan, Bulgarian Kaloyan Bozhkov and Macedonian Aleksandar Grasheski.
Furthermore, three Dinamo players - Ivan Paunović, Karlo Zirdum and Jona Benkotić - will play for the Croatia U-18 national team at the upcoming World Cup for that age group in Qatar.
The largest number of internationals is in the U-17 age category. As many as seven of our players are on the Croatia squad list - Lovro Trupčević, Karlo Presečan, Maks Barišić, Marin Nekić, Filip Viduka, Mateo Crnić and Matija Jakirović. They are playing in the European Championship qualifiers.
Also on the list are Bulgarian internationals Martin Kuzmanov and Aleksandar Sirakov, as well as Montenegrin Danilo Kisić.
We truly have plenty to be proud of, and this is yet another proof of why the Dinamo Academy is among the top 10 in the world.
We congratulate the boys on their call-ups and wish them plenty of luck and success with their national teams!
