Leesburg, VA - Loudoun United Football Club's Abdellatif Aboukoura has won the USL Championship Young Player of the Year Award, following a record-breaking 2025 season. At just 21 years old, Aboukoura becomes the first player in club history to win a post-season USL Championship award.

Aboukoura earned the Young Player of the Year award with 54 percent of the ballot, voted on by club management and a league-wide media panel that included representation from every USL market following the conclusion of the 2025 USL Championship regular season. Last week, Aboukoura was named to the USL Championship All-League Second Team, making him the first player in club history to be named to an All-League Team.

"I am very grateful to have won this award," said Abdellatif Aboukoura. "Thank you to God, my family, the coaching staff, and my teammates at Loudoun. This only motivates me more to train harder and stay focused on accomplishing both my personal goals and helping the team win trophies."

Aboukoura tallied 12 goals (15 across all competitions) and two assists in USL Championship play in the 2025 season. On top of a historic scoring season, Aboukoura earned the youngest-ever USL Championship Player of the Month award, winning the award in March with four goals and one assist. Aboukoura helped secure club records as well, with Loudoun United recording the most league wins (3) and points (9) in an opening month (March) in club history. The 21-year-old's 14 goal contributions helped lead Loudoun United to its first-ever playoff berth this season.

"Abdellatif has been outstanding this season," said Karl Sharman, President of Loudoun United FC. "This Young Player of the Year award isn't a surprise for me. He's shown real quality, consistency, and maturity beyond his age. He's a player who turns up every day to improve, and you can see that in his performances. He's a credit to the club, and there's no doubt he's got a big future ahead of him."
