Atlanta United and the September FIFA international break: How the Five Stripes are performing on the world stage

The September 2025 FIFA international break has arrived, and with it, a unique test for Atlanta United. While the MLS season slows down, several key members of the squad have been called away for national duty. For some, these are make-or-break qualifiers on the road to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. For others, the window represents a chance to prove themselves in friendlies or re-establish their role on the international stage.

For Atlanta United supporters, it’s a time to watch familiar faces represent their countries with pride. In addition, a chance to see how the club manages without nearly a third of its roster available.
