Professional

Following his freshman year in college, Servania opted to sign a homegrown player contract with FC Dallas on January 3, 2018.[2] On May 18, 2018, Servania joined United Soccer League side Tulsa Roughnecks on loan.[3]

On January 5, 2021, Servania was one of six FC Dallas players who went on a three-week training stint with German Bundesliga side Bayern Munich.[4] On February 9, 2021, he moved on loan to Austrian Bundesliga side St. Pölten.[5]

In February 2023, he was traded to Toronto FC in exchange for Jesús Jiménez.[6]

International

On October 23, 2018, Servania was called by coach Tab Ramos to be part of the 20-player roster representing United States U20 at the 2018 CONCACAF U-20 Championship.[7] During the U-20 final against Mexico, Brandon cleared a shot off the line to preserve the 2–0 United States victory.[citation needed]

Servania received his first call-up to the senior United States team in January 2020, and his first cap in a victory over Costa Rica.[8]

In mid-December 2020, Servania was called up by Puerto Rico at senior level for a training camp in the Dominican Republic from January 10 to 20, 2021.[9] Servania declined the Puerto Rico invitation.[10]

Personal life

Growing up in Alabama, Servania started to play soccer at age six. He kicked off his youth career with Birmingham United Soccer Club from U-11 to U-14 before playing for Vestavia Hills Soccer Club in Alabama.[11]

Servania has a younger brother, Jaden, who plays for North Carolina FC in USL League One. Despite being born in Birmingham, Alabama (like Brandon) Jaden represents Puerto Rico at the international level.[12] Jaden was called to represent Puerto Rico at the 2018 CONCACAF U-20 Championship and Brandon was called to represent the United States in same tournament.[13] On November 1, 2018, Brandon faced his brother when United States debuted in 2018 CONCACAF U-20 Championship against Puerto Rico. Both players played the entire match, Brandon in the midfield and Jaden in the attack.[14]
