In 2017, he was selected to play for the national youth team. Because of his talent, he was selected for the U-23 side even though he was playing for the U-18 team at the time. Then head coach Gerd Zeise chose him for the first time for the match against Kyrgyzstan, played in South Korea, as the final match of 2019 AFC Asian Cup.
