Isaac Angking Called Up to Puerto Rico National Team
The RIFC midfielder is the first to earn an international call-up
Rhode Island FC midfielder Isaac Angking has made history as he is the first active RIFC player to head on international duty. Angking has been called into the Puerto Rico National Team as the island nation looks to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
“It’s always a privilege to be called up to the national team,” said Angking. “Playing for the beautiful island of Puerto Rico is an honor and an opportunity to represent my community and club on the world stage. Training every day with this group of talented players and coaches, I feel extremely prepared to perform at a high level and represent all of Rhode Island while we work towards World Cup qualification.”
Puerto Rico will face El Salvador and Anguilla in the first window of the Second Round of CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying. 30 remaining CONCACAF Member Associations — including Puerto Rico — are competing for three guaranteed spots in the 2026 World Cup and two FIFA Play-off Tournament spots.
