On 2 February 2008, Bouzanis was invited by the Greek FA manager Alexis Alexiou to represent the youth team against Slovakia on 5 February 2008.

Despite playing for the Greek U19 team Bouzanis remained eligible to play for either the Greek or Australian full international sides. [97] [98] The Australian press stated that his departure would be a "disaster" likening it to the loss of Joey Didulica to the Croatian national side. [97] [99]

In April 2008 he was called up to the Australia Under 23 squad to compete in the Intercontinental Cup in Malaysia as part of their preparations for the Olympics due to Danny Vukovic's suspension.

In June 2008, Bouzanis accepted an invitation to represent Greece in the UEFA U-19 European Championships. [104] and stated he was proud to be competing at the finals with Greece. [105] Bouzanis' decision to play for the Greek under-age team upset some of Australia's football community. [106] Bouzanis' agent suggested he still wanted to play for Australia. [107]

In July 2008, Bouzanis was listed in a group of Australian footballers aged between 16 and 22 known as "the lost boys", including Paul Giannou, Andreas Govas and Robert Stambolziev, who were likely to play for or had played for national teams of the country of their heritage. [108] [109]

In February 2009, his agent stated that Bouzanis wanted to play for Australia rather than Greece. Bouzanis subsequently appeared in Australia's first two group matches at the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Egypt. [110] [111] Bouzanis' next international appearance was as a half-time substitute in an Under-23 friendly on 1 June 2011 against Japan. [112] He was subsequently named in the squad for the Olyroos London Olympics 2012 qualifying matches against Yemen in June 2011. [113]
