Joao Ortiz News: Plays 21 matches in 2025
Ortiz started 17 of the 21 matches played for Portland during the 2025 MLS season.
Ortiz struggled to make an impact in his debut MLS season, leading to several spells on the bench. Across 2025, he registered only 25 tackles and 16 clearances and failed to contribute a single goal. Signed on a three-year contract, the 29-year-old will have another opportunity next season to rebound from this disappointing campaign with Portland.
