Moore made his main squad debut on October 26, 2017, starting in a 2–0 away win against Girona FC for the season's Copa del Rey. Three days later he made his La Liga debut, replacing Ivi in a 2–2 draw at SD Eibar. Following success in the previous two fixtures, Moore started his first game for Levante on November 18, 2017, in a 2–0 away defeat of UD Las Palmas. He became only the fourth American to play in La Liga after Kasey Keller, Jozy Altidore, and Oguchi Onyewu. He finished the campaign with eight first-team appearances.

International career

After rejecting Trinidad and Tobago at the under-15 level, Moore represented the United States at the under-17, under-18, and under-20 levels. He captained the under-17s in 2012–13, including at the 2013 CONCACAF U-17 Championship, and appeared with the under-20s at the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup.

Moore received his first senior team call-up for a friendly against Paraguay on March 18, 2018. He made his full international debut on June 2, as a 70th-minute substitute for DeAndre Yedlin in a 1–2 friendly loss away to the Republic of Ireland.

Uncapped since November 2018, Moore was called up by coach Gregg Berhalter for the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup. On July 18 in the final group game against Canada, he scored his first international goal and the only one of the American win; it came after 20 seconds, breaking Clint Dempsey's all-time record for the team's fastest goal by 14 seconds. He played all of his team's games as they won the title, though his appearance in the final against Mexico was off the bench as Reggie Cannon had recovered from injury.

On November 9, 2022, Moore was named by Berhalter to the final U.S. squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Personal life Shaq Moore is the son of former Trinidad and Tobago soccer player Wendell Moore. Through his mother, he is the nephew of Richard Goddard, who played as a goalkeeper for the Caribbean nation.
