"I'm really happy to be able to sign a new contract to continue playing with FC Cincinnati," Vazquez said. "I'm very excited for what the future holds for this club and can't wait to have a chance to play at the new stadium.

Vazquez, 22, has made a career-high 17 appearances, including seven starts, scoring two goals and adding an assist with FC Cincinnati this season.
