Amadeo was selected to represent the South Sudan national football team in the 2013 CECAFA Cup.[12][13] He made his debut for the national team on November 27, 2013, against Zanzibar.[7] He made another appearance in the regional tournament against Kenya coming on as a substitute.[14][15] Amadeo would also play against Ethiopia in the final match of the group stage.[7]

He returned to the international scene to participate in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualification in a qualifier match against Mali.[16][17] He would feature in the match against Mali where South Sudan was eliminated from contention.[18]
