Ryan Naderi, a 23-year-old striker playing for the Scottish club Rangers, was identified as a potential candidate for the Czech Republic national team under head coach Santi Denia. Naderi, who holds Czech citizenship through his mother, was considered a possible replacement for Patrik Schick following Schick’s retirement from international football.

Naderi made his international debut for Czechia as a second-half substitute during a Nations League match against Spain in Oviedo. During the match, he nearly scored after capitalizing on a mistake by Spanish goalkeeper David Raya, but the goal was disallowed by referee Vasilis Fotias due to a ruled foul on defender Robin Le Normand. Despite the 3-1 defeat, Naderi described the experience as feeling ‘like a dream’ and noted the supportive atmosphere within the squad following his administrative clearance.

Following his substitute appearance, Naderi earned his first full international start under Denia in a Nations League match against England. Playing the full 90 minutes, he demonstrated a high work rate and significant ball carrying, though he struggled in aerial duels during the 3-0 defeat. Naderi, who was born in Germany, has officially committed his international allegiance to Czechia, choosing the nation over his father’s native Bulgaria.
