Pedro Soma

Pedro J. Soma (born June 30, 2006) is an American professional soccer player currently playing as a defensive midfielder for Major League Soccer club San Diego FC.

Early life Soma was born in Boca Raton, Florida, to a Brazilian mother and American father and was raised in nearby Coconut Creek.

Club career Having first taken an interest in football at a very young age, he joined a local academy in Florida: Boca Raton Juniors Soccer Club. Afterwards, he moved to Boca United (now called South Florida Football Academy) at the age of six or seven. Barça signed him on loan from Cornellà on August 29, 2024, with an $881k purchase option. FC Barcelona assigned him to their B team in the Spanish 3rd division, for whom he made his debut on October 2, 2024. He made 28 appearances (20 starts) with 2 assists in the 2024-25 season. Barça B's relegation from the 3rd division at the end of the season, however, disrupted many plans the club had for youth development, and the club did not exercise their purchase option to retain Soma.

On July 28, 2025, San Diego FC announced they had acquired Soma on permanent transfer from Cornellà for a non-disclosed fee, and signed him to a 4-year deal. He made his debut for the club - and his first appearance as a first-team professional - on August 6, 2025, in a Leagues Cup match against Mazatlán.

International career Soma received his first call-up to the United States youth system in January 2022, and having impressed in both the January training camp and a trip to South America in March, he was one of the stand-out players in a UEFA Under-16 Development Tournament held in May of the same year. Called up again for the 2023 CONCACAF U-17 Championship, Soma helped the United States reach the final of the competition, but despite scoring, he could not prevent his side losing 3–1 to Mexico in the final match.
