The 18-year-old winger has chosen to represent the Stars and Stripes and will join the national team for their friendly against Mexico next month.
The 18-year-old winger, who was born in Tampa, Florida to an American father and German mother, trained with the USA earlier this month before the national team's friendly against Ukraine.
"Obviously this was a big decision, and I spent a long time discussing it with my family," Green said in a news release. "I was born in Florida and my father still lives there, so I have deep roots in the U.S. and I'm very proud to be representing the United States.
"A big part of the decision was the experience I had in Frankfurt. All the players were super nice and welcomed me from the beginning. Clint Dempsey gave me a jersey with my name on it, and the way they supported me gave me a lot of belief. The coaches have shown a lot of trust in me and now I hope to do everything I can to earn a spot on the World Cup roster."
