Who posted on twitter they became a US citizen in June 2017?

Stefan Frei posted on Twitter that he became a U.S. citizen in June 2017. The Swiss-born goalkeeper shared the announcement on June 13, shortly after completing the naturalization process.

Frei was born in Altstätten, Switzerland, and moved to the United States to attend the University of California, Berkeley. He began his professional career with Toronto FC before joining the Seattle Sounders, where he became a standout MLS goalkeeper.

His new citizenship made him eligible for the United States men’s national team, and he had already been invited to a U.S. camp by coach Bruce Arena in January 2017. However, Frei never earned a senior cap for the national team, so becoming a citizen did not automatically mean he represented the United States internationally.

A common mix-up is confusing Frei with other soccer players who later became naturalized Americans, such as Dom Dwyer or Darlington Nagbe. The June 2017 Twitter announcement specifically refers to Seattle Sounders goalkeeper Stefan Frei.
