What happened: Ran Binyamin was called up for UEFA U21 EURO qualifying matches scheduled for Sept. 29 and Oct. 6. The selection places him into the international window as the MLS regular season enters its final stretch.

Why it matters: The call-up adds another step in a 2026 rise that already included Binyamin's first MLS goal in August. International duty can also affect late-season availability and workload around club fixtures.

What to watch: Watch for the final squad schedule closer to the September window and whether Binyamin is in line to feature on both qualifying dates.
