In 1989, he was a member of the U.S. U-17 national team at the 1989 FIFA U-16 World Championship.[1] His brother, Imad, scored the winning goal as the U.S. defeated Brazil; the team finished group play with a 1-1-1 record and failed to qualify for the second round. He went on to play several games that fall with the U.S. U-20 national team. He then attended Clemson University, playing on the men's soccer team from 1992 to 1994.
