Louis Buffon, the 17-year-old son of World Cup champion Gianluigi Buffon, has opted to represent the Czech Republic at the international level, despite his Italian heritage. Called up for the Czech Under-18s, he emphasizes that this decision aligns with his football development. His mother, model Alena Seredova, connects him to the Czech team, and both parents support his choice. Although born in Italy, Buffon expresses a professional commitment to his new national team regardless of potential future matchups against Italy.
"I talked to the family and we decided that playing for the Czech Republic would be best for my football career and my development," Buffon said.
"...my dad was excited too because it was my first national team call-up. He also advised me to play for the Czech Republic, because it's the best way I can evolve as a player."
