In 2016, the defender was selected by coach Gerardo Martino for the preliminary squad of the Argentina national under-23 football team to participate in the Summer Olympics. He was later confirmed by Martino's successor Julio Olarticoechea and started in all three games of the team in the tournament.[5][6]
