Julian Hall Officially Tied to USMNT Following Appearance Against Haiti

Teenage forward Julian Hall earned his first competitive start for the U.S. men's national team on Saturday against Haiti.

New York Red Bulls forward Julian Hall is now officially cap-tied to the United States men’s national team after starting Saturday’s Concacaf Nations League quarterfinal matchup against Haiti. The teenage attacker, who holds dual U.S. and Polish citizenship, ended speculation regarding his international future by appearing in a competitive FIFA-sanctioned fixture. According to ESPN, Hall previously wore the name "Zakrzewski" on his jersey as a tribute to his Polish mother.

The New York City native enters the competitive roster following a productive window of friendlies in September and October. During four matches against Peru, Chile, Mexico, and Canada, Hall recorded three goals and one assist. His contributions included the opening goal in a 3-0 victory over Mexico.

At the club level, Hall has produced 13 goals and five assists across 33 MLS appearances for the Red Bulls. He made his professional debut in 2023. While the forward told ESPN in August that both nationalities were interested in his services, FIFA rules regarding competitive confederation games now prevent him from suiting up for Poland.
