International career
Aogo was a member of the German U21 squad. He was refused to represent the Nigeria national team at the time because of FIFA rules, although he had previously represented Germany at youth and age group levels. However, FIFA lifted the age for changing nationalities in 2004, implying that Aogo may have represented Nigeria. However, after turning down many invitations from the Nigerian Football Association, he stated his intention to continue representing Germany as he saw a chance to have a spot in the German senior squad in the future.
Nigeria, the homeland of Aogo's father, wanted to call him up to the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, but Shaibu Amodu said on January 5 that he would only play for the German national team. He made his debut for Germany in their first preparation game against Malta, winning 3–0, before being replaced by fellow full-back and then Hamburg clubmate Jérôme Boateng. Aogo was a member of Germany's 2010 FIFA World Cup team. In early June 2013, he earned his last cap.
