September 25, 2024 – Canadian Premier League (CPL)
Atletico Ottawa News Release
Atlético Ottawa has had a historic month, as both the club and individual players have been setting new records across multiple categories.
The goals have been flying in this season and, as Atlético continues to push for the Regular Season title, four new club records have been set. Let’s take a look at them below:
1. Rubén del Campo sets new goal-scoring record

Swiss-born striker Rubén del Campo has been clinical in front of goal this season. The 24-year-old has scored 11 goals in the Canadian Premier League (CPL) and leads the Golden Boot race with four matches remaining.
With a goal away to Cavalry FC two weeks ago, Del Campo’s 13th strike of the campaign (all competitions) broke the record for goals scored in a single season by an Atlético Ottawa player – a record previously held by Ollie Bassett (12 goals – 2023).
2. Back-to-back record attendances for 2024

The soccer community continues to grow each year, and Atlético Ottawa has set back-to-back attendance records at TD Place for the 2024 CPL season.
With over 7,000 supporters in attendance for our last two matches – La Fiesta and Célébrantion Franco-Ontarienne – we aim to finish the season strong both on and off the pitch.
3. Dani Morer continues to serve it up on a platter

The former Barcelona youth product, Dani Morer, has had to bide his time this season, competing with Kinburn-native Kris Twardek for a starting spot on the right-hand side of the defence.
An unfortunate injury to Twardek opened the door and Morer has stepped in with aplomb, bringing trademark composure and technical quality to the right side.
The 26-year-old provides pinpoint accurate deliveries, from open play and set pieces. With seven assists to his name, Morer has now set a new record for most assists by an Atlético player in a single season (all comps).
