Lukas Pareja to Florida International University
FMSpro is proud to announce the signing of Lukas Pareja to NCAA Division I Florida International University. Lukas is an extremely talented attacking midfielder/winger who previously played for North Mississauga and recently for York United FC in the Canadian Premier League.
Known for his exceptional dribbling skills and ability to create scoring opportunities, Lukas excels at taking on defenders and finding space in the attacking third. His North Mississauga team enjoyed a period of significant success, achieving a top ranking in Canada. At our 2024 Winter Showcase, Lukas impressed scouts, leading to a contract with Cavalry FC. He subsequently signed a development contract with York United FC for the remainder of the season, gaining valuable professional experience.
This valuable experience with professional clubs has prepared Lukas well for the challenges of NCAA Division I soccer.
Florida International University, coached by Kyle Russel, is known for its challenging schedule, competing against some of the best teams in the country. Coach Russel expressed his excitement about adding Lukas to the roster, stating, “We typically do not sign true freshmen, but Lukas is an exceptional talent who warrants this exception.”
Florida International is the only Division I men’s soccer program in Miami, offering Lukas the opportunity to pursue his athletic and academic goals in a warm and vibrant environment.
Congratulations, Lukas, and wishing you all the best in your collegiate career!
