Another FIFA international window is upon us with a handful of former Kansas City players being called up to their respective national teams. Former Sporting KC homegrown player, Erik Palmer-Brown is with the US team for friendlies against Japan and Saudi Arabia this coming week. Palmer-Brown was an injury replacement along with Mark McKenzie for Cameron Carter-Vickers and Chris Richards. Palmer-Brown is off to a strong start to his 2022-2023 campaign in France with Troyes.
Another former Sporting player who was called up was defender Winston Reid, who has been called up by New Zealand. Reid is calling time on his international career after the friendlies.
