Tai Baribo - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Finishes 2026 injured Baribo was not an option during the 1-0 loss to NYCFC due to a hip injury.

Impact Baribo finished the 2026 season on the injured list, missing the final three matches with a hip issue. Despite the late injury, he enjoyed a strong campaign, recording 16 goals and one assist in 25 league appearances. The forward largely lived up to expectations after joining from the Union last season and should remain a key piece of the attack for the 2027 season.

Lands on injury report Baribo (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's trip to Toronto, per the MLS injury report.

Impact Baribo landed on the injury report for Wednesday's trip to Toronto. The forward has a hip injury that has him in doubt for road trip. It's unclear how serious it is, but it would be a major blow if DC lose their top striker. He played the full 90 in each of the last five matches, so it's not clear when he picked up this issue.

Gets a goal Baribo scored one goal to go with seven shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 4-1 defeat versus Orlando City SC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 88th minute.

Impact Baribo was able to score, but he could've had more goals had he been more efficient with his shots. Only one of his seven were on frame. If he can be more clinical, he should feast against a FC Cincinnati squad which has allowed 68 goals through 28 MLS games this season.

Scores, assists in win Baribo scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and one chance created in Wednesday's 2-1 victory over New York Red Bulls.

Impact Baribo played a big role in this win, as he was involved in both goals -- he scored a penalty in the first half and later set up the eventual game-winner scored by Silvan Hefti. Baribo is having an excellent season with 15 goals and one assist in the campaign while finding the back of the net in six of his 10 appearances since the end of the World Cup.

OCTOBER 15 • Associated Press

Takes three shots in loss Baribo had three shots (one on target) during Saturday's 4-0 loss against Inter Miami.

Impact Baribo didn't have his most brilliant game but was still one of the few in his team able to generate something up front. Despite finding himself in a three-game scoreless streak right now, the forward remains one of D.C. United's biggest threats up front, with 14 goals over 21 league appearances this season.

OCTOBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Back to lead DC attack Baribo is available for DC United's MLS clash against Inter Miami on Saturday after returning from international duty with Israel and being omitted from the league's latest injury...

Impact Baribo missed the trip to Vancouver while representing Israel during the international break but is now ready to resume his regular starting role up front. The striker has been DC United's primary attacking threat this season, scoring 14 goals across 20 MLS appearances (19 starts). Jackson Hopkins was an option to lead the attack during his absence, with Nathan Ordaz and Louis Munteanu also away on international duty, but Baribo should reclaim his spot at center forward against Miami.

OCTOBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Linking up with Israel Baribo has been called up by Israel for the upcoming international window between September and October.

Impact Baribo's absence will leave a huge void for DC United in the attack since the star forward has notched 14 goals in 20 league appearances (19 starts) in 2026. He'll miss the trip to Vancouver on Saturday, but Baribo should be available for the Oct. 10 game against Inter Miami once the normal schedule resumes. Expect Jackson Hopkins to be an option to lead the attack since Nathan Ordaz and Louis Munteanu will also be away on international duty this Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Hits woodwork Saturday Baribo generated six shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 loss against Charlotte FC.

Impact Baribo fired off a season high six shots against Charlotte and saw one come back off the woodwork, but he could not find a way through. It extends his run without a goal to two straight games, which is unusual for a forward who has struck 14 times in 19 starts. His goals make up almost half of D.C. United's total in MLS this season, and he is the man the side's attack is built around.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Scores brace Wednesday Baribo scored two goals to go with two shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 2-1 win against Columbus Crew.

Impact After sitting out the last two matches due to a knee injury, Baribo made his return to the pitch Wednesday. It didn't take long for him to get back on track as he scored goals in the 24th and 37th minutes, enough to secure the much-needed win for his club. It marked his second match this season with multiple goals and he now has 14 goals in 18 appearances this season.

Tai Baribo scored a pair of first-half goals and D.C. United held on to beat the Columbus Crew 2-1 to end a five-match winless streak

SEPTEMBER 10 • Associated Press

Bench option versus Cincinnati Baribo (knee) is among the substitutes for Saturday's visit to Cincinnati.

Impact Baribo was still questionable heading into this game after sitting out a couple of MLS contests, and he'll have his playing time managed in his return. His availability is welcome news for a D.C. United side that scored just once over two games without him on the pitch. Having produced six goals over his last eight appearances, the forward will have a strong chance of ousting Nathan Ordaz in the front line later in the season.

SEPTEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable with knee issue Baribo is listed as questionable for Saturday's match against Los Angeles FC while he deals with a knee blow.

Impact Baribo is his team's most dangerous forward, having scored six goals over his last eight MLS games, so his return to the injury report with a knee concern is the most impactful availability question in the D.C. United week 23 report. Another forward would cover if he can't go, but the gap in attacking quality between Baribo and the available replacements is meaningful, with the most notable option among the usual backups, Nathan Ordaz, yet to log more than 45 minutes in a single game since May.

Hero against Toronto Baribo scored one goal on two shots (one on goal) during D.C. United's 2-1 win Saturday against Toronto FC.

Impact Toronto conceded a last-minute penalty because Jackson Gilman fouled Andre Dozzell of D.C. United. Baribo attempted the spot-kick and scored. Between back-to-back seasons, he has logged double-digit goals as part of different teams, DC and the Philadelphia Union. Ideally for him, unlike his 2025 season, Baribo can maintain a steadier pace. That year, after logging 10 goals in 12 games, he scored eight across 20 appearances.

Impact Baribo got on the scoresheet Wednesday, netting his only shot during the one-all draw. The striker was a threat throughout the match, but struggled for end product, the lone shot he got off proved to be enough for the goal Wednesday. Baribo should lead the line throughout the back half of the campaign.
