SAN ANTONIO (July 18, 2023) – San Antonio FC defender Fabien Garcia and Shannon Gomez, as well as midfielder Rida Zouhir have been named to the USL Championship Team of the Week. The trio of SAFC representatives come just a week after the team saw four players named to the list last week.

Defender Fabien Garcia made his third appearance on the Team of the Week this season, winning five of five duels and three of four tackles, blocking a pair of shots and making three interceptions.
Defender Shannon Gomez made his first appearance on the Team of the Week, assisting on Zouhir’s game-winning goal.
SAFC is at home this weekend, hosting The Miami FC at Toyota Field. Kickoff is set for 8:00 p.m. CT, with tickets available at SanAntonioFC.com or the SAFC app. The match will also be broadcast locally on Bally Sports Southwest, or locally on ESPN+.
