Nashville SC sign Adem Sipić as first-ever homegrown player

NASHVILLE, TN – In a special press conference at Geodis Park on Tuesday, Nashville SC announced 17-year-old forward Adem Sipić as the first homegrown signing in club history. Sipić will begin playing for Nashville SC in 2024 on a contract through 2027, with a club option for 2028.

A native of Bowling Green, Kentucky, Sipić played with youth club Bowling Green Elite FC before joining Nashville SC’s academy in 2020 at the age of 15. A standout for Nashville SC’s U-17 side, Sipić scored 16 goals in 14 appearances. He earned a shot with the senior team in preseason, starting their match against the US U-20s.

After impressing Gary Smith, Sipić has featured heavily for Huntsville City FC in MLS NEXT Pro, in between appearances at the academy level. After five appearances off the bench, Sipić started his first professional match on Sunday against St. Louis CITY 2, and scored a goal in a 4-2 win.
