Carney Chukwuemeka Switches International Allegiance to Austria
Carney Chukwuemeka, a former Chelsea midfielder, has officially switched his international allegiance to Austria, as confirmed by FIFA. Born in Vienna to Nigerian parents and raised in England, the 22-year-old previously represented England at youth levels, including U-17 and U-20.
Chukwuemeka, who currently plays for Borussia Dortmund, is now eligible to represent Austria following FIFA's ratification of his switch. He is expected to make his international debut later this month, with Austria scheduled to face Ghana and South Korea in friendly matches on March 27 and 31, respectively.
This transition offers Chukwuemeka the opportunity to feature for his country of birth.
