Aug 27 (Field Level Media) – Orlando City SC acquired Brazilian defender Vinicius Nogueira on loan Thursday from Bulgaria’s PFC Ludogorets.
The deal with the 24-year-old Nogueira runs through the end of the 2027 MLS season, at which time Orlando has an option to make the move permanent.
“Vinicius is a dynamic left back with the pace, technical quality and work ethic to impact the game on both sides of the ball,” Orlando City general manager and sporting director Ricardo Moreira said.
“… We believe he can contribute right away while continuing to develop within our environment, and we’re excited to welcome him to Orlando.”
Nogueira has recorded four goals and 16 assists in 139 career matches across senior and U-20 levels while competing in Brazil, Sweden, Norway and Bulgaria. He helped PFC Ludogorets win the 2025-26 Bulgarian Super Cup.
