Vazquez has played 11 times for the United States at the senior international level, scoring four goals including three at the 2023 Concacaf Gold Cup.
Vazquez played the first seven years of his professional career in MLS. He debuted with Atlanta United in 2017, and in three seasons there was a member of the Atlanta sides that won MLS Cup in 2018 and the U.S. Open Cup in 2019.
Vazquez moved to FC Cincinnati ahead of the 2020 season. He recorded 26 goals and 12 assists in 62 MLS regular season matches for Cincinnati across the 2022 and 2023 seasons, earning MLS Best XI and All-Star honors in 2022 and helping the team win the Supporters’ Shield in 2023.
