BROOKLYN, N.Y. – Brooklyn FC announced on Thursday it had acquired goalkeeper Kayne Rizvanovich on loan from Minnesota United FC of Major League Soccer for the 2026 USL Championship season. The transaction is pending league and federation approval.
Rizvanovich joins Brooklyn FC after spending the 2025 season with Minnesota United’s MLS NEXT Pro reserve team, MNUFC2, where he established himself as a reliable presence in net. Across 17 appearances in the 2025 regular season and playoffs, the 18-year-old recorded three clean sheets and logged the club’s first postseason shutout while logging 54 saves and a 73% save percentage across the regular season and playoffs.
Internationally, Rizvanovich has represented the United States at the U-18 and U-19 levels, earning six combined caps. In 2025, he was a key member of the U.S. U-18 squad coached by current Brooklyn FC Head Coach Marlon Leblanc that won the UEFA Friendship Cup in Switzerland, making critical penalty-kick saves to help secure the trophy.
“Kayne is a young goalkeeper with strong fundamentals and a calm presence,” said LeBlanc. “He’s been in a professional environment, handled meaningful minutes, and shown he can rise to the moment. We’re looking forward to continuing his development and adding competition to our goalkeeping group.”
A native of Chicago, Rizvanovich previously developed within the Minnesota United, FC Cincinnati, and Chicago FC United academies before signing a first-team Homegrown contract with Minnesota United this January.
