By Daniel Feuerstein | Morris Township, NJ | September 17th, 2026

Red Bull New York was informed that their midfielder Adri Mehmeti and Striker Julian Hall were selected by the U.S. Men’s National Team Head Coach Mauricio Pochettino for the upcoming friendlies in the new combined September and October International Window. They join a 28-man roster for training camp and are going to face South American teams in Peru and Chile, and their CONCACAF rivals in Mexico and Canada, while missing their home match against St. Louis City SC at the end of September. This is a very exciting day, as they are the first two Red Bull players to join the National Team in a very long time, since Tyler Adams was on the club.

Adri Mehmeti

Adri Mehmeti, the 17-year-old from Staten Island, gets his first call-up to the National Team after having a fantastic start to his first season in MLS, after winning the 2025 MLS Next Pro Championship. This season, he has scored a goal and earned five assists in 24 matches. Earned his first MLS assist on the second goal for Julian Hall during the season opener on the road at Orlando City in a two-goal-to-one victory on February 21st. His pinpoint passing and strong attacking runs have made him a dangerous player, and now he will get his chance on the senior side of International Football.

Julian Hall

Julian Hall, the 18-year-old from Manhattan, after many seasons with the U.S. Youth National Teams, has finally earned his first call-up to the senior side after a solid start to his season, scoring nine goals (12 in all competitions) and earning five assists in 25 matches. He became the youngest player in MLS to score a Hat Trick at 18 years and 50 days in a three goals to two victory at home against the Columbus Crew on May 13th. He was also part of this season’s MLS All-Star Game as a reserve.
