Atlanta United has brought aboard seasoned midfielder Fafa Picault, the team revealed on Tuesday.
The 34-year-old player from Haiti has signed a deal running through 2026, with the club holding an option to extend until June 2027.
Picault was part of Inter Miami’s championship squad that captured the MLS Cup this past season, contributing four goals across 20 regular-season appearances.
“I first met Fafa two decades ago at a clinic for the Haitian community while I was playing for Miami Fusion,” Atlanta chief soccer officer and sporting director Chris Henderson said. “Just a kid at the time, his pace, quality, and joy for the game stood out. I followed his journey closely and worked to bring him to Inter Miami CF.
“Now, after winning MLS Cup this past season, it’s special for me to welcome him to Atlanta United. He has been a productive player in this league for a long time, and he brings experience, professionalism, and championship mentality to our group. For me, this signing is truly full circle, and I’m thrilled we could make it happen.”
Throughout his MLS career beginning in 2017, Picault has tallied 60 goals and 28 assists across 244 matches while suiting up for six different clubs. His professional journey has taken him through Philadelphia Union, FC Dallas, Houston Dynamo, Nashville SC, Vancouver Whitecaps and most recently Miami.
Atlanta United kicks off their 2026 MLS campaign with a road match against FC Cincinnati this Saturday.
