Denmark youth

Falkesgaard has represented Denmark at under-18 to under-20 levels.

Philippines

Born to a Filipina mother, Falkesgaard was eligible to represent the Philippines. The Philippine Football Federation learned of his eligibility through Dennis Cagara and Jerry Lucena, both of whom are also Danish-Filipino footballers capped for the Philippines. In March 2018, Falkesgaard received his first call up for the Philippines. He earned his first cap on 22 March in a 3–2 friendly win over Fiji. He did not concede any goal in the first half; however, Nick O'Donnell was subbed in for him at the start of the second half. On 13 October, he came on as a second-half substitute for Neil Etheridge in a 1–1 friendly draw against Oman. Falkesgaard was named in the Philippines' 23-man squad for the 2018 AFF Championship. He started in the group matches against Timor-Leste, Thailand, and Indonesia. He then played in the first leg of the semi-finals against Vietnam, but missed the second leg due to a groin injury. Philippines lost to Vietnam on 4–2 aggregate. Since Neil Etheridge was unavailable due to club commitments, Falkesgaard was named Philippines' first-choice goalkeeper for the 2019 AFC Asian Cup—the first time the national team has qualified for the international tournament. Philippines exited the tournament at the group stage after a winless campaign.
