Fort Lauderdale United FC Quartet Earn International Call-Ups for Upcoming Window

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (November 19, 2025) – Fort Lauderdale United FC is proud to announce that four players have earned international call-ups for the upcoming FIFA window, running from November 23 to December 2. Midfielders Stella Nyamekye (Ghana) and Kat González (Dominican Republic), along with forwards Nia Christopher (Bermuda) and Princess Ademiluyi (England U20), will represent their countries during the window.

“International selection, whether at the senior or youth level, represents the highest acknowledgment of a player’s ability, ceiling, potential and professionalism,” said Ali Rogers, Head Coach of Fort Lauderdale United FC. “I am incredibly proud of our four players earning call-ups and representing their countries. Their achievements reflect the consistency and high standards they bring each day and the environment that supports their growth. We’re excited to see them continue to develop and compete at the highest levels.”

Stella Nyamekye – Ghana

Nyamekye has been selected for a key international friendly as Ghana takes on England, marking the first-ever meeting between the two nations at the senior level. The Ghana international has been an instrumental part of Fort Lauderdale’s strong start, appearing in 10 matches and starting eight since arriving on loan. The midfielder has logged 699 minutes, completing 79.4% of her passes as she leads the club in chances created (12), while contributing one goal and a team-high two assists. Nyamekye is one of just three Fort Lauderdale players to record both a goal and an assist through the first seven matches of the season, playing a key role in the club’s second place standings after 11 matches.

The midfielder has quickly become a key figure for the Ghana National Team, better known as the Black Queens. She earned her senior debut in 2023 at just 17 years old and broke out at the 2024 Women’s African Cup of Nations, where she recorded a goal and an assist in the tournament. Nyamekye scored the go-ahead goal in the Semifinal against Morocco and provided an assist in a group-stage win over Tanzania, helping the Black Queens claim the bronze medal with a victory over South Africa. Nyamekye captained Ghana at the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup, where she recorded two goals and an assist, and most recently appeared in a pair of 2026 CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches against Egypt in late October. The midfielder contributed two assists across the two-leg series, helping Ghana secure qualification for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.

Nyamekye and Ghana will take on England on Tuesday, December 2, at 2 p.m. at St. Mary’s Stadium in Southampton, England.

Kat González – Dominican Republic 

González will join the Dominican Republic for a pivotal CONCACAF Women’s Championship qualifying match against Suriname. The attacking midfielder has been a key contributor for Fort Lauderdale United this season, appearing in 10 matches with four starts. Gonzalez has recorded one assist, 6 key passes and 13 duels won across 422 minutes on the pitch. Her creativity has played a pivotal role in Fort Lauderdale’s hot start, helping the club climb to second place in the Super League standings.

Gonzalez has been a consistent presence with the Dominican Republic National Team, dating all the way back to 2021. The Marshall product played a pivotal role in the nation’s qualification for the inaugural W Gold Cup, scoring the decisive goal in a 1-0 victory over Guyana during the 2024 Prelims. Gonzalez most recently featured in a pair of friendlies against Honduras, starting both while scoring a goal in the initial match
