FC Cincinnati and midfielder Luciano Acosta have agreed on a contract extension through 2026, with an option for 2027, the club announced today. The Orange and Blue’s captain is FC Cincinnati’s all-time leader in both goals and assists in Major League Soccer competition.
“Lucho is a tremendously important player for our team and our club,” said Chris Albright, FC Cincinnati General Manager. “He’s clearly one of the best players in our league, capable of producing the spectacular moments that win you games. His winning mentality, along with his continued growth as a leader and a captain, have allowed Lucho to become the best version of himself. It’s apparent how connected he feels to our city and community, and we’re proud to have Lucho representing FC Cincinnati.”Acosta, 29, was acquired by FC Cincinnati as a Designated Player in March of 2021. Since then, he has appeared in 101 matches across all competitions for the Orange and Blue. Since the beginning of the 2021 season, his 71 regular season goal contributions (31 goals, 40 assists) rank second in the league.
This is good news indeed!
