Despite approaches from both China and Malaysia due to his heritage, Ryan Teague has reaffirmed his commitment to the Australian national team. Teague is in the Socceroos squad and could debut against China in their World Cup qualifier.
Eligible through his mother (China) and Malaysian heritage, Teague received direct outreach from both nations but deferred to his agent. He confirmed his lifelong goal has been to represent Australia. Teague has become one of the A-League’s standout midfielders this season.
