San Diego FC is getting ready to make its mark as the 30th franchise in MLS, representing the buzzing city of San Diego. With their debut season just around the corner, this team is set to join the Western Conference as the 15th squad, and the excitement is already building.
The club has been busy assembling a solid roster, focusing on players from Europe who are still in their prime rather than those nearing the end of their careers. It’s clear that San Diego FC means business and is aiming to hit the ground running.
San Diego FC 2025 roster: A look at the squad so far
As of September 8, 2024, the roster is looking pretty impressive. At just 17 years old, goalkeeper Duran Ferree is the youngest on the team, and while he’s still developing, there’s a lot of hope pinned on his future. In attack, 28-year-old forward Marcus Ingvartsen and the ever-dynamic Hirving Lozano, who’s 29, are expected to lead the charge, bringing plenty of experience and flair.
In the middle and back, Paddy McNair, a 29-year-old who can slot in both midfield and defense, and Jeppe Tverskov, a 30-year-old midfield general, will provide the backbone of the team. Both have plenty of European experience, which should help steady the ship in their first MLS season.
Then there’s Alex Mighten, the 22-year-old winger with tons of potential. Although he’s currently on loan at FC Nordsjælland in Denmark for the rest of 2024, he’s definitely one to watch for the future and an important piece in the club’s long-term plans.
Overall, San Diego FC is putting together a squad that’s not just about competing from day one but also about building something sustainable for the future.
