LAFC has borrowed midfielder Mathieu Choinière from the Swiss Premier League on loan from the Swiss Premier League on December 31, 2025.
Choinière, a native of Montreal and member of the Canadian national team, came up through CF Montreal's youth system after joining their academic in 2011 and signed with the Canadian club's first team in 2018. He logged 120 MLS appearances in Montreal (including 89 starts), notching 11 goals and three assistants while earning consecutive MLS All-Star team nods in 2023 and 2024.
“Mathieu is a validated performer in our league and his experience, intelligence and versatility will be a huge asset to our team in the midfield,” said John Thorrington, co-president and general manager of LAFC. “We are excited to welcome him to LAFC as we strengthen our roster for pursuing more trophys.”
The 26-year-old has 17 blocks on the Canadian national team, including four games, and has three championships in the recently completed CONCACAF Gold Cup this summer.
