FIFA approves change of association: FC Bayern’s Tillman will be active for the USA in the future

Bayern talent

Nothing stands in the way of the expected debut of Malik Tillman from FC Bayern Munich in the USA national team. As the national association USSF announced on Tuesday, FIFA has approved the transfer of the 20-year-old attacking midfielder from the German Football Association to the US association. This means that the former German U21 international can play for the United States for the first time in Wednesday’s international match against Morocco in Cincinnati.

Tillman had not previously been called up for the Germany U21 squad for the European Championship qualifiers against Hungary (June 3) and Poland (June 7, 2022). Tillman, who was born in Nuremberg and brother of the Fürth professional Timothy Tillman (23), already played two games for the USA in the U15s before he went through all the DFB U-teams and recently also played four games for the U21s. The USA will host the 2026 World Cup alongside Canada and Mexico.

This is the German U21 squad for the European Championship qualifiers in June

A change was possible because Tillman has not yet completed an international match for Germany. In the Bundesliga, Tillman made four appearances for German champions Munich and in the first round of the DFB Cup, where he scored a goal against Bremer SV (12-0).
