Mandatory Credit: Abe Arredondo-Imagn Images San Diego FC signed captain Jeppe Tverskov to a contract extension through 2027 with an option for 2028, the team announced Friday.
The 32-year-old Danish midfielder delivered two goals and 13 assists in 33 starts during his first season in MLS while leading the expansion club to the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference.
"From being one of our first signings, to becoming the first captain in club history -- Jeppe has been an integral part of our early success on and off the field," said sporting director Tyler Heaps.
"He's not only performed and shown the high level he has consistently but also played a key role in implementing how we want to play football. We're looking forward to having Jeppe and his family continue to call San Diego home and drive this club forward."
Tverskov was acquired from Danish Superliga side FC Nordsjaelland ahead of San Diego's inaugural season. He made the MLS All-Star team along with teammates Anders Dreyer and Hirving "Chucky" Lozano.
San Diego will make its MLS Cup Playoffs debut at home Sunday in Game 1 of a best-of-three opening-round series with the Wild Card-winning Portland Timbers.
