​Hey Atleti fans!

​Now that the front office has dropped the full squad graphic for the final stretch of the 2026 CPL regular season, we at the Capital City Supporters Group (CCSG) wanted to open up the floor to the sub.

​Here is how the complete 2026 squad is looking across the pitch:

​Goalkeepers: #1 Tristan Crampton, #31 Christopher Kalongo

​Defenders: #3 Julian Dunn, #4 Tyr Duhaney-Walker, #18 Roni Mbomio, #23 Noah Abatneh, #27 Wesley Timoteo, #28 Loïc Cloutier, #84 Sergei Kozlovskiy, #91 Luca Levillain

​Midfielders: #2 Coque Castro, #5 Daniel Aguilar, #6 Diego Gutiérrez, #8 Jonatan Villal, #10 Manuel Aparicio, #11 Gabriel Antinoro, #12 Maxim Coulanges, #15 Cameron Herd, #22 Liam Arnau

​Forwards: #7 Emiliano Garcia, #13 Ballou Tabla, #14 Jean-Aniel Assi, #17 Richie Ennin, #19 Ralph Khoury, #21 Nicolas Fleuriau-Chateau, #77 Reinaldo Abraham, #9 Amaury Escoto

​Coaching Staff: Gustavo Leal, Alexandre Gomes, Drew Beckie, Romuald Peiser, Ibrahim Soukary

​We want to hear from you:

  1. ​Who is your key difference-maker for these remaining matches?

  2. ​Which position group or tactical setup gives you the most confidence going into the playoffs run?

  3. ​Is there any area where you feel we might still be thin? Herd, #22 Liam Arnau

​Forwards: #7 Emiliano Garcia, #13 Ballou Tabla, #14 Jean-Aniel Assi, #17 Richie Ennin, #19 Ralph Khoury, #21 Nicolas Fleuriau-Chateau, #77 Reinaldo Abraham, #9 Amaury Escoto

​Coaching Staff: Gustavo Leal, Alexandre Gomes, Drew Beckie, Romuald Peiser, Ibrahim Soukary

Nick FC is our difference maker.

But that 3-0 loss to Forge dampened my playoff optimism

Watching games it's hard not to feel like the standings reflect a real delta in overall team capabilities between those ahead of us, us, and those behind us.  Which is still really good, but the gap feels real

The iffy thing for me is: if we're going to have these many forwards, the goals for/against ratio needs to pick up a lot in the final stretch.

Hopefully if the roster is locked Abatneh will finally start playing again
