San Diego FC Sign Tunisian World Cup Player Elias Achouri San Diego FC announced on Friday that they have signed Tunisian national team forward/midfielder Elias Achouri for the 2028-29 season. The 27-year-old player, who represented Tunisia in the recently concluded World Cup, remains pending visa approval before he can join the team. Achouri made all three group-stage matches for Tunisia and has scored four goals in 33 international appearances. In a statement, San Diego FC sporting director Tyler Heaps expressed enthusiasm about the signing, highlighting Achouri’s experience in European club competitions and international football. Heaps emphasized the club’s commitment to assembling a roster capable of competing at the highest level, noting that Achouri’s addition will strengthen the team’s depth. Achouri’s professional career has primarily been based in Europe, where he spent the past three seasons with Copenhagen in the Danish Superliga. During his time there, he recorded 12 goals in 116 matches across all competitions. His performances in the Danish league, combined with his contributions to Tunisia’s national team, position him as a versatile attacker with both offensive and midfield capabilities. The signing marks a significant step for San Diego FC as they continue to build a competitive squad for the upcoming seasons. While Achouri’s visa process is a prerequisite for his participation, the club’s confidence in his skills and experience underscores their strategic focus on long-term success. The move also aligns with broader efforts to attract high-profile talent to the MLS, particularly from international markets. Achouri’s inclusion in the World Cup squad and his consistent goal-scoring record at the international level further validate his status as a key player.#tunisia #world_cup #san_diego_fc #copenhagen #elias_achouri
