Adri Mehmeti emerges as rising star for New York Red Bulls and USMNT
Seventeen-year-old midfielder Adri Mehmeti is being recognized as one of the most promising talents in North American soccer. A regular starter for the New York Red Bulls in Major League Soccer (MLS), Mehmeti recently made his senior debut for the United States Men’s National Team (USMNT) in a match against Peru.
Of Albanian descent, Mehmeti credits his rapid ascent from the Red Bulls' second team to the first team and the national squad to the support of his coaches and his father, who played football at a youth level in Albania. Despite his age, he has established himself in the demanding defensive midfield position, noted for his technical ability and composure on the pitch.
Mehmeti is viewed as part of a new generation of MLS-grown players expected to elevate the profile and performance of the USMNT on the international stage.
