Atlanta United announced today it has waived midfielder Luiz Fernando, clearing an international roster spot.
The 23-year-old signed an MLS contract on Aug. 21, 2019, joining from the club’s USL Championship team, Atlanta United 2. Fernando made one First Team appearance as a substitute against FC Motagua in the second leg of the Scotiabank Concacaf Champions League Round of 16 on Feb. 25, 2020.
“We wish Luiz nothing but the best of luck in his future and are grateful for his service to the club over the last two years,” Atlanta United Vice President and Technical Director Carlos Bocanegra said.
