Sydney brings experience, talent, and leadership to our team. We are proud to welcome Sydney and overjoyed at what this represents for us as a club and the young women playing football in Brooklyn.”
A proven winner, Martinez comes to Brooklyn FC from a string of impressive international performances, most notably an 11-save performance that helped the Puerto Rican National Team to a 1-0 win over Haiti to qualify for the 2024 W Concacaf Gold Cup.
“I am excited and eager to work with Brooklyn FC!” said Sydney Martinez. “The Club’s ‘access for all’ vision aligns with my values, and the opportunity to be a part of an inaugural USL Super League season cannot be beaten.
