Kristoffer Velde News: Valuable add for Portland

Velde made a start in all 12 appearances (including the playoffs) for Portland during the 2025 MLS season.

Velde joined Portland late in the season, but quickly became a key attacking presence, helping spark the team's playoff push. In just 12 appearances, he scored twice, added two assists, created 36 chances, and delivered 70 crosses (16 accurate). With a three-year contract in place, the midfielder is expected to start in 2026 as he prepares for his first full MLS campaign.
