LAFC Kids Day
Kids Day at our LAFC home match on Sunday, April 27th, was a huge success! The talented 4th-grade class from 61st Elementary School in Los Angeles brought our starting XI lineup to life with hand-drawn portraits of our players. These incredible pieces of art were featured in our starting XI graphics, offering a unique and artistic perspective of our team through the eyes of young artists. This memorable day combined the love of soccer with the creativity of the next generation throughout the stadium!
LAFC Unified Team Signing Day
In partnership with BMO and Special Olympics Southern California, LAFC hosted an official signing day for the 21 members of its 2025 Special Olympics Unified Team on Tuesday, April 15, at BMO Stadium.
Unified Team players and coaches were joined by LAFC midfielder Mark Delgado, LAFC Assistant Technical Director Jordan Harvey, and LAFC2 goalkeeper Cabral Carter as they signed their official contracts with the club’s Unified Team and were presented with authentic LAFC uniforms and training gear.
Tree People Event
In celebration of @mls #GreenerGoals Week of Service, LAFC partnered with @treepeople_org to make a positive impact at Coldwater Canyon Park. This 45-acre oasis, located atop Mulholland Drive and Coldwater Canyon, offers stunning views of the San Fernando valley and San Gabriel Mountains, and serves as a vital sanctuary for hikers, students, wildlife, and the broader community.
Volunteers joined park staff to tackle essential tasks, including trail maintenance, removing invasive plants, and watering trees, contributing to the preservation of one of Los Angeles’ most beloved natural spaces.
We’re grateful to the dedicated volunteers whose commitment to environmental stewardship has left a lasting mark on this cherished park. Your energy, passion, and care helped pave the way for a greener, healthier future. Thank you for making a difference!
Thinkwatts Mattress Distribution
In partnership with Thinkwatts, we distributed 100 queen-sized mattresses and frames to families affected by wildfires and those facing economic challenges. The distribution event took place at BMO Stadium, where community members came to receive their personal mattresses and frames.
Thank you to ThinkWatts for their continued commitment to uplifting our community. Together, we're making a real impact. Stay tuned for more to come!

LAFC Unified Team vs LA Galaxy Scrimmage
The LAFC Special Olympics Unified Team, created in collaboration with MLS Works and Special Olympics Southern California and with support from BMO, unites individuals between the ages of 16 and 25, with and without intellectual disabilities, to compete as members of one team. As part of the program, the Unified Team attends weekly training sessions, plays in scrimmages, and competes in matches against Unified Teams from other Major League Soccer (MLS) clubs.
The team started their season on May 16 2025, on the road at Dignity Health Sports Park, where they faced the LA Galaxy Unified Team. LAFC Unified will take the pitch once again on July 12 at BMO Stadium immediately following LAFC’s first team match against FC Dallas.
LAFC x BMO x Bresee Girls Soccer League Visit
We had an amazing time at the Bresee Girls Soccer League Final, cheering on all the talented young athletes as they gave their all on the field! It was a joy to hand out BMO soccer balls and fun giveaway items from BMO, along with healthy and delicious snacks provided by Melissa’s Produce. The energy, sportsmanship, and team spirit were truly inspiring—congrats to all the players on an incredible season!
