Los Angeles FC

Los Angeles FC represent the City of Angels in Major League Soccer, playing at BMO Stadium in Exposition Park where the club has established itself as one of MLS's most ambitious and stylish franchises since their 2018 launch. The black and gold colors and the winged crest create a sleek, modern identity that appeals to LA's trend-conscious fanbase and distinguishes the club from their crosstown rivals. LAFC's 3252 supporter section creates one of the league's most vocal and visually impressive atmospheres, with the stadium's intimate design amplifying the intensity. The club's attacking philosophy and investment in star talent have made them perennial contenders and must-watch television. LAFC's rapid rise and the El Tráfico rivalry with the Galaxy have made them central to the Los Angeles soccer landscape.

LAFC joined MLS in 2018 and immediately made an impact, with the club's Hollywood ownership group, state-of-the-art stadium, and ambitious roster signaling a new era for the league. Carlos Vela's arrival and his record-breaking 2019 MVP season, when he scored 34 goals, established LAFC as an attacking force and made the Mexican star the face of the franchise. The club won the MLS Cup in 2022, with Gareth Bale's dramatic extra-time header against Philadelphia in the final delivering the championship in one of the most thrilling conclusions in league history. The El Tráfico rivalry with the LA Galaxy, born from LAFC's arrival and the clubs' shared market, has produced unforgettable matches and established one of MLS's greatest derbies. LAFC's 2023 CONCACAF Champions League triumph and 2024 run to the final have demonstrated the club's ambition to compete at the highest level.
