Sar-Sar served as captain during Alex McGrath's injury absence last season, and has committed his future to the club.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (December 8, 2025) — Chattanooga Football Club (CFC) announced today it has picked up defender Farid Sar-Sar's contract option for 2026 and agreed to a new contract for 2027, with the option for 2028.
The 26-year-old Argentinian center-back has committed his future to the club following an outstanding 2025 campaign in which he played in every minute throughout the competitive season. Goalkeeper Eldin Jakupović and Sar-Sar were two of only four players in the entire MLS NEXT Pro league who played every minute of the 2025 season.
"Farid played a central role in our historic season, and his leadership on and off the field made us all better," said Chattanooga FC Sporting Director Sebastian Giraldo. "Wearing the captain's armband is a responsibility he embraced fully, and his influence was felt in every moment of our success. We are proud to have a person of his caliber with us."
Sar-Sar joined Chattanooga FC from Inter Miami CF II on January 29, 2024 ahead of the club's inaugural season in MLS NEXT Pro. The defender from Mendoza, Argentina, made 23 appearances and started in 16 matches during the 2024 season.
The signing is the latest in keeping the core leadership team together from last season, including captain Alex McGrath and goalkeeper Eldin Jakupović.
