Inter Miami CF attacker Robert Taylor has been called up to the Finnish national team for its upcoming international friendlies.
In its first game, Finland faces Iceland in an international friendly match at Estadio Nueva Condomina in Murcia, Spain on Saturday, March 26 at 12 p.m. ET. The team will then once again play at the Estadio Nueva Condomina in an international friendly, this time versus Slovakia on Tuesday, March 29 at 12 p.m ET.
The versatile attacker has featured consistently for the Finnish national team, representing his country at the U-17, U-19, U-20 and U-21 categories before making his debut for the senior team in Jan. 2017. He has played 25 times for his country to date, including competing in UEFA World Cup qualifying, UEFA European Championship qualifying, and UEFA Nations League matches, scoring one goal and tallying two assists. Taylor was also a member of Finland’s historic UEFA European Championship 2020 squad last year, as the team qualified for the continental competition for the first time.
Taylor joined Inter Miami in February from Norwegian top-flight team Sportsklubben Brann. He made his debut for the club in the season opener on Saturday, Feb. 26, coming off the bench as a second-half substitute against the Chicago Fire FC. Taylor went on to make appearances in each of the team’s next two matches, including making his first MLS start in a match against LAFC last Saturday.
The Finnish attacker will be a part of Inter Miami’s squad as the team travels to face FC Cincinnati at TQL Stadium for the first time this season on Saturday, March 19. The fixture in Ohio is set to kick off at 1 p.m. ET.
