LAFC’s ability to attract diverse celebrity attendance highlights the club’s continued cultural relevance within the greater Los Angeles area. Since their 2018 debut, the club has consciously cultivated relationships with entertainment industry figures, creating one of Major League Soccer‘s most celebrity-rich supporter bases.
Hollywood A-list celebrity Will Ferrell is a co-owner of the club, while NBA icon Magic Johnson and global footballing legends Mia Hamm and Giorgio Chiellini are also part of the ownership group.
Following their penalty shootout victory, LAFC will face Tigres UANL on Aug. 5 in their final game of the Leagues Cup group stage as they look to advance to the knockout round portion of the competition. They will then travel to face the Chicago Fire in MLS regular season action on Aug. 9.
