Los Angeles Football Club

Founded in the heart of Los Angeles, LAFC has quickly become one of Major League Soccer’s most successful teams. After winning the Supporters’ Shield in just its second season, LAFC enters 2023 as the reigning MLS Cup champions and Supporters’ Shield holders.  

Uniting the World’s city through the World’s game, LAFC is committed to youth development in the heart of Los Angeles.
