Dağ grew up in Leibnitz and holds Austrian and Turkish dual nationality, making him eligible for both countries. Dağ chose Austria over Turkey, and was due to make his debut on 31 May 2009; however this dream was stopped by injury. Dağ was called up to the Austria national team again on 10 October 2009 for the game against Lithuania,[3] but was an unused substitute. His first cap eventually came in a friendly against Denmark on 3 March 2010.[4] Austria won the match 2–1.
