The Arima Araucans Academy congratulates 15-year-old defender Jemarre Nixon who has been snapped up by US Major League Soccer (MLS) outfit, FC Cincinnati, to represent their youth team in the 2026 MLS Next Cup.
Jemarre, a composed, left-footed defender who can operate in central defence or at left back, trained with the Arima Araucans in 2024 and 2025. He is the son of Trinidad and Tobago’s 1991 Portugal Fifa U-20 World Cup forward Jerren Nixon, who played professionally in Scotland and Switzerland, and ex-Women’s National Senior Team defender Kathy-Ann Nixon.
Jemarre had several offers for his services before he chose the FC Cincinnati 2011 team. The Araucans wish him the very best this season!
