Deybi Flores: A Journey Worth Celebrating

Flores made his mark on the field since his debut for Toronto FC on February 25, 2024, in a match against FC Cincinnati. Over two seasons, he clocked in 58 appearances, showcasing his talent and dedication to the Reds. The San Pedro Sula, Honduras native scored his first goal for the team on May 25, 2024, also against FC Cincinnati, making it a memorable milestone for both player and club.

From Hungary to the International Stage

Acquired from Fehérvár FC in Hungary, where he made an impressive 32 appearances, Flores quickly became a fan favorite in Toronto.

As he embarks on this exciting new adventure with Al-Najma SC in the Saudi Pro League, fans and teammates alike wish him all the success in the world.
