International Career

He's eligible to represent Australia, and also for Malta and Italy due to his origins. He also holds Maltese citizenship. In 2019, the Maltese F.A. were keen on verifying D'Agostino's eligibility to represent Malta at first team level, due to having Maltese grandparents. The Maltese FA continue to monitor his performances.

He was selected by Graham Arnold for the Under 23 team in the 2020 AFC U-23 Championship qualifiers which took place in Cambodia. After being goalless in his first two matches, he scored a double in the final group match against South Korea to help Australia advance through to the finals which is going to be held in Thailand.

In the main tournament, D'Agostino became the hero for Australia, having scored only three goals, but mostly important one which guaranteed his team a victory over Thailand at the group stage, and especially, the only goal against Uzbekistan in the third-place encounter which clinched Australia a place for the 2020 Summer Olympics.
