Pacific FC announced Thursday the full status of the club's roster following the 2025 Canadian Premier League season.
The club announced that nine players remain under contract for 2026:
Defenders: Juan Quintana, Kadin Chung
Midfielders: Sean Young, Aidan Daniels, Matteo Schiavoni, Sami Keshavarz
Forwards: Marco Bustos, Josh Heard, Ronan Kratt
They also announced that forward Alejandro Díaz, who was on loan with Pacific in the second half of 2025 from Vancouver FC, will return to the club on a permanent transfer, with a contract guaranteed through 2027.
Pacific had club options for 11 players.
Christian Greco-Taylor, Sean Melvin, and Yann Toualy will return to the Tridents' squad after the club exercised their contract options.
Meanwhile, five players will depart the club after having their options declined: Daniel De Pauli, Ahmad Mansour, Emmanuel Montejano, Daniel Zadravec, and Dario Zanatta.
Pacific still have until Dec. 31 to potentially trigger options for Matthew Baldisimo, Lukas Browning-Lagerfeldt, and Roshawn Juhmi.
Aly Ndom and Georges Mukumbilwa's contracts expire at the end of this year, but the club remain in discussions with both players around potential new contracts.
Finally, players on Development Contracts, including Veniamin Chernyshev and Mattias Vales, will continue to train with the club.
Pacific selected midfielder Luke Norman from the University of British Columbia and defender Archie Tugwell out of the University of Victoria in the 2026 CPL-U SPORTS Draft. Both players will be invited to preseason training with Pacific, where they can compete for a roster spot for the 2026 CPL season.
Pacific has retained the U SPORTS rights for defenders Eric Lajeunesse and Fin Tugwell for 2026. The club is able to sign these players to a CPL-U SPORTS Contract without them entering the draft.

Goalkeepers: Sean Melvin

Midfielders: Sean Young, Aidan Daniels, Matteo Schiavoni, Sami Keshavarz, Mattias Vales
