FC Cincinnati releases veteran center back Matt Miazga

FC Cincinnati has parted ways with veteran center back Matt Miazga ahead of the team’s September 5 match against D.C. United at TQL Stadium. Miazga confirmed his departure on social media on September 4, ending a tenure that began in 2022. The club and the 31-year-old defender are currently negotiating the terms of his exit. Miazga is eligible to sign with another team immediately, and industry reports suggest he may join a new MLS club before the current season concludes. The move arrives as Cincinnati seeks to bolster its defensive roster and manage its salary cap, having recently added Julian Malatini and David Doudera. Miazga, a former MLS Defender of the Year, started 84 games for the club but has been limited by injuries during the 2024 and 2026 seasons.
