Brandon Vazquez

Atlanta United

Vázquez signed with Major League Soccer expansion club Atlanta United in December 2016 ahead of their inaugural season. On April 22, 2017, Vázquez played in his first competitive MLS match, coming on as a substitute against Real Salt Lake and scoring a goal in the final minute of stoppage time.

In his first two seasons with the club, under manager Tata Martino, Vázquez was deployed as a winger rather than his natural position of leading the line as a striker. As a reserve, Vázquez made 21 appearances and scored one goal over those two seasons, culminating with Atlanta winning the MLS Cup title in 2018. After scoring 4 goals in his previous 2 games, Vázquez earned his first MLS Start on June 26, 2019, in a 2–3 defeat to Toronto FC.

FC Cincinnati

On November 19, 2019, Vázquez was selected by Nashville SC in the 2019 MLS Expansion Draft. He was subsequently traded to FC Cincinnati in exchange for $150,000 in Targeted Allocation Money. After mainly appearing as a substitute, Vázquez made his breakthrough in the 2022 season. He opened the season as the undisputed starter for the first time in his career. After two poor results, Cincinnati took down Orlando City SC with a 2–1 victory on the strength of his brace. The first goal was a well-taken finish after a perfectly timed cutting run between the centre-backs, the second a redirected header off a cross. The following week, Vázquez registered another brace and added an assist in a 3–1 win over…

He was part of the United States U17 squad for the 2015 CONCACAF U-17 Championship, playing in four games in the tournament. Vázquez was then named to the United States squad for the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup. He played in two of the three group stage games, scoring against Croatia U17 and Chile U17 as the team finished last in their group and failed to advance from the group stage. He has also played for the United States at the under-19 and under-20 levels. Vázquez was called into the US senior national team's January Camp in 2023, which did not tie him to an international side. Vazquez remained uncommitted, stating "nothing has changed [regarding his commitment at the international level]. Last year I was doing everything possible that I could control to give myself the best opportunity to get into the [US] World Cup roster... Unfortunately, it didn’t happen that way, but you have to shake it off and start all over again. That is exactly what I am doing now, start fresh, with a lot of energy and a lot of excitement to be here." Vázquez made his senior debut and start in an international friendly match against Serbia on January 25, 2023, at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles. He headed the lone US goal of the match via an assist from former club teammate Julian Gressel in the 29th minute of the match. Vázquez made his competitive debut for the US at…
