Nicolai has been named to the US National Amputee Soccer Team (USNAST) that will represent the United States at the 2018 World Cup tournament to be held in Guadalajara, Mexico later this year. Selections were made by Eric Lamberg, head coach for the US team, after watching players compete at a training camp in Chicago last weekend. This is the third time Nicolai has been named to the US national team and he is training hard for the competition which will start in late October. The US finished 12th at the 2016 World Cup and the squad is hoping to improve on that record this time around.
