The Philadelphia Union<\/a> have waived defender Olivier Mbaizo<\/a>, the club announced Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Mbaizo has represented Cameroon 14 times and was on their 2022 FIFA World Cup<\/a> roster.<\/p>\n

“We want to thank Olivier for his time spent with the club,” said sporting director Jon Scheer. “We are grateful for his dedication, professionalism, and impact on the organization and wish him all the best going forward.”<\/p>\n
