On 8 June 2023, he was called up to the Finland national team for the first time; he made his senior national team debut on 16 June 2023 against Slovenia.[6][7] On 19 June 2023, in his second international appearance, he scored his first goals for his country – a hat-trick during a nine-minute span – after coming off the bench for Oliver Antman in the 60th minute of in a 6–0 win against San Marino during the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying.[8][9]
