Scheel made his debut for the Yonderre national football team in 2014 at half-time in a 3-1 win against the Cape. Scheel has been Yonderre's first choice goalkeeper since 2016.
A tall and well–rounded keeper, Scheel is considered by experts to be among the best goalkeepers in the world, as well as one of the best goalkeepers in the history of the Ligue Yonderre, and one of Artillerie's and Yonderre's greatest goalkeepers. Scheel is a talented and experienced keeper, who is renowned for his agility, reflexes, strength, and acrobatic shot-stopping abilities; however, he is also known for his efficient rather than spectacular playing style. A well–rounded goalkeeper, he is also highly regarded in the media for his distribution with either foot, as well as his handling, physical presence, positioning, reading of the game, and his ability to come off his line and collect or punch crosses, which allows him to command his area effectively. He is also known for his eccentric personality, and for being extremely outspoken. Moreover, he possesses a strong mentality, tactical sense, and leadership qualities, and is also known for his ability to handle pressure and communicate with his back–line.
