MATHIEU ZAHLAN JOINS MONTREAL UNITED FC!

From international experience to a winning mentality—Zahlan is here to make waves in Montreal!

Montreal United FC is proud to officially welcome Mathieu Zahlan to the club for the upcoming 2025 season! The dynamic Lebanese midfielder joins us from CS MRO of Ligue 1 Québec, bringing with him a unique combination of international pedigree, elite experience, and a fearless competitive spirit.

At just 21 years old, Zahlan has already crafted a football résumé that stretches across continents. From his youth days in Lebanon—where he earned a call-up to the Lebanese national youth team—to a spell with Atlanta United 2, the reserve team of MLS powerhouse Atlanta United FC, his journey has been anything but ordinary. His story is one of ambition, sacrifice, and a relentless desire to grow at every step.

Zahlan is a midfielder who thrives on creativity, control, and confidence. Whether he’s dictating tempo from deep or threading the perfect pass in the final third, his presence in the middle of the pitch will offer Montreal United a major boost heading into what promises to be a high-stakes 2025 season.

“I am very happy to join an exciting project,” said Zahlan when asked about the move.“Having spoken to the coaching staff, I felt very welcome and sensed a winning mentality I want to be a part of. I'm here to win and develop, and I can't wait to get started!”

Club officials have praised Zahlan’s technical skill, his calm under pressure, and his deep understanding of the game. But just as important is his mindset—hungry, humble, and fully bought into the Montreal United vision.

“We want players who are not only talented but driven—who see this club as a platform to grow and achieve great things,” said a club spokesperson.“Mathieu checks every box, and we’re excited to see what he can bring to this group.”

Zahlan’s arrival also signals a statement of intent for the club. After a year of explosive growth and on-field success, Montreal United continues to attract high-caliber talent determined to help elevate the team to new heights.

With the season just around the corner, the addition of Mathieu Zahlan sets the tone. Expect big plays. Expect leadership. And most importantly—expect results.
