The Germany-born forward, 18, had represented the country of his birth at Under-15, Under-16 and Under-17 level but is now eligible for America, where he moved in 2006.
Zelalem will now join the States' squad for the upcoming Under-20 World Cup in New Zealand this summer, confirmed US Soccer president Sunil Gulati.
He wrote on Twitter: "Pleased to report that Gedion Zelalem has been cleared by #FIFA to represent @ussoccer."
