FC Cincinnati News Release
CINCINNATI - FC Cincinnati midfielder Nazmi Albadawi has been voted to the United Soccer League's Team of the Week for Week 24 after standout play in the Orange and Blue's pair of road wins last week at Atlanta United 2 and the Tampa Bay Rowdies.
This is Albadawi's third nod on the USL Team of the Week this season, and his second appearance on the team's starting 11.
On Wednesday in Atlanta, Albadawi netted his second brace of the season, scoring in each half. He also contributed to Emery Welshman's goal in the second half as his original shot was saved directly to Welshman for the close-range rebound.
