Forward Madison FC has signed forward Hakim Karamoko on loan from MLS club D.C. United, pending league and federation approval. The 20-year-old will join the Flamingos for the remainder of the 2026 season.
Karamoko, a native of New York, was selected 10th overall by D.C. United in the 2025 MLS SuperDraft. He made his MLS debut for the club in April 2025 against Philadelphia Union and started in a U.S. Open Cup match against Charleston Battery in May, logging 120 minutes in a 2-0, extra-time victory. He was subsequently loaned to USL Championship side Loudoun United FC in May 2025, where he made nine appearances.
Prior to his professional career, Karamoko attended North Carolina State University, where he appeared in 31 matches over two seasons, recording 11 goals and three assists. He earned ACC All-Freshman Team and All-ACC Second Team selections.
“Hakim is a player I’ve tracked closely since his dominant college career with NC State and we’re thrilled to bring him in on loan from DC United,” Forward Madison FC Sporting Director Matt Cairns said in a statement. “He brings an exciting blend of speed, strength and skill to our attack and I’m confident he’ll have an instant impact on the field.”
Karamoko will make his debut as Forward Madison hosts Corpus Christi FC on Friday, May 29, at Breese Stevens Field in the club’s first USL League One home match of the season.
