Folarin Balogun is with Team USA for two friendlies | OneFootball

Scorer of two goals in his last two Ligue 1 matches, the American striker is logically part of the American national team to play two friendly matches against Panama and Mexico.

He is in great form at the moment! Decisive in his last two league matches against Le Havre (in a 3-1 win) and Montpellier (in a 2-1), Folarin Balogun is finding great form with AS Monaco at the start of this autumn. It is therefore quite natural that the Rouge et Blanc striker has just been called up to the United States for the October international break.

A debut with a new coach 🆕

It’a a break that comes with friendly matches for Team USA and its new coach, Mauricio Pochettino, who will face Panama and Mexico in succession. Two good tests for the “Stars and Stripes”, future hosts of the 2026 World Cup, for this new generation of which Balo’ is a part. Already the scorer of five goals in 17 selections, the Monaco number 9 remains in good form for his country.

He will therefore have a new opportunity to shine in the national team, before returning to France to face Lille on Friday October 18 (21:00). Daghe Balo’ ! 🇺🇲
