FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Today, the USL Super League announced its inaugural All-League teams, with three Fort Lauderdale United FC players earning honors. Midfielder Addie McCain was named to the All-League First Team, while forward Jasmine Hamid and defender Laveni Vaka were selected to the Second Team. The first-ever All-League selections, voted on by technical staffs from across the league, recognize the top-performing players from the 2024-25 season.
McCain was named to the All-League First Team after serving as the heart and soul of the Fort Lauderdale United FC squad throughout the 28-match regular season. The Texas A&M product started every game and logged 2,433 of a possible 2,520 minutes, more than any other outfield player on the team. One of the most complete and dominant players in the Super League this year, McCain ranked third league-wide in goals (10), combined goals and assists (12), and chances created (38). Her impact was just as significant on the defensive side of the ball, where she finished second in tackles won (61), aerial duels won (65), and total duels won (187) while she also ranked seventh in interceptions (38). A four-time Team of the Month honoree and a potential Player of the Year candidate, McCain was a standout presence in every phase of the game and a major reason Fort Lauderdale is in the Super League Final.
A dynamic threat on the wing, Hamid was a crucial part of Fort Lauderdale United FC’s success throughout the season. The Towson product scored 9 goals and added 2 assists, finishing the campaign with 22 shots on target and demonstrating her two-way ability with 18 interceptions. Hamid started 24 matches and logged 1,888 minutes, consistently stretching opposing defenses with her pace and creativity. The electric Hamid made history as the only player in league history to earn back-to-back Player of the Month honors (December & February), underscoring her consistency and impact across the campaign.
Vaka was a dominant presence on Fort Lauderdale United FC’s back line, earning All-League Second Team honors while starting all 18 matches she played before a season-ending knee injury in March. The BYU product anchored the defense with elite consistency, completing 977 passes and tallying 65 clearances, 45 duels won, 15 tackles won, 14 blocks and 5 interceptions. Despite appearing in 10 fewer matches than the rest, Vaka still ranked near the top of the team in clearances (3rd), blocks (3rd), and passes completed (4th), a clear sign of her influence and importance to the FTL UTD squad.
Back in Action
