K. Sanchez

Cooper Sanchez has been inside Atlanta United's system since the age of 12, working through the club's academy ranks before making his mark with the reserve side. He made his debut for Atlanta United 2 at just 15, on 26 March 2023, becoming the youngest player in the team's history.

That early promise carried through to August 2025, when Sanchez signed a Homegrown contract with the first team. He made his MLS debut on 13 September 2025 against Columbus Crew, one of the clubs where he previously trained in their academy alongside a spell at FC Utrecht.

Internationally, Sanchez has already represented the United States at the 2025 U-17 World Cup in Qatar, playing three matches as the side reached the round of 16. He has since been named in the US under-19 squad for the 2026 CONCACAF U-20 Championship.

Wearing number 48 for Atlanta United, Sanchez remains one of the club's academy graduates now working to establish himself at senior level.
