Inter Miami left back Noah Allen has changed his international allegiance from the United States to Greece, per FIFA’s Change of Association platform.
The 20-year-old represented the U.S. at the Concacaf U-20 Championship in 2022, meaning he needed to file paperwork with FIFA for a one-time switch if he wished to represent another country.
Allen was born and raised in Florida. His father is American while his mother is from Greece, making him eligible for a Greek passport.
According to Greek outlet iefimerida, Greece U-21 coach Giannis Taousianis and Greece national team technical director Dimitrios Papadopoulos contacted Allen recently to express their interest. The defender is expected to be called into Greece’s U-21 side for friendlies this month.
Allen signed a Homegrown contract with Inter Miami in 2022, making his professional debut during that MLS campaign.
The defender made a career-high 14 starts during the 2023 season before the arrival of Jordi Alba saw his minutes begin to diminish.
Allen nearly totaled 1,000 MLS minutes last season while starting eight games, and has started both of Inter Miami’s league matches this season.
