A promising young talent has reportedly switched his allegiance to the United States.
Cole Campbell’s one-time switch from Iceland to the United States has been approved by FIFA, ESPN reported Thursday. Campbell, who turned 18-years-old in February, is currently playing with Borussia Dortmund’s Under-19 squad.
He signed with Dortmund ahead of the 2022-23 season and has totaled three goals and nine assists across 22 appearances this campaign. In total, Campbell has featured for Dortmund’s U-19 and U-17 teams since his move to Germany.
The son of former Iceland women’s national team player Rakel Karvelsson, Campbell featured in Atlanta United’s academy before moving to Europe. He made six appearances for Icelandic side FH Hafnarfjordur, as well as one appearance for Breidablik.
Campbell made seven appearances for Iceland’s U-17 side, scoring two goals. He becomes the latest dual-national to make the switch to the United States in recent time, joining Folarin Balogun, Timothy Tillman, and Kristoffer Lund in recent years.
Campbell’s next club match is on Sunday against Cologne’s U-19 side.
