- Major League Soccer mistakenly announced that Celtic forward Kyogo Furuhashi had signed with Atlanta United, a claim that was later retracted.
- The actual signing was former Japan under-23 forward Cayman Togashi, who joined Atlanta on a free transfer through the 2025 season.
- MLS apologized for the error, attributing it to a website mistake, and issued a statement extending apologies to the affected parties.
