International career
Paur was first called up to the senior national team for two unofficial friendly fixtures held in Abu Dhabi, UAE, in January 2017, against Uganda (1–3 loss) and Sweden (0–6 loss). Although it was expected that coach Ján Kozák will field him against Sweden, after Paur did not appear against Uganda, before the match it was publicised that Paur will not play due to a further unspecified injury. Consequently Paur remained the only of the 23 called up players, who did not appear in either of the matches. [1][2]
