Los Angeles Football Club History

Los Angeles FC was founded in October 2014, days after another Los Angeles–based MLS club, Chivas USA, folded. An ownership group containing names ranging from Peter Guber and Magic Johnson to Mia Hamm, Nomar Garciaparra and Will Ferrell, among others, contributed to the unique blend of star power and success that gave LAFC a running start.

Bob Bradley, who has had success coaching on the collegiate, MLS, international and European pro levels, was chosen in 2017 as Los Angeles FC's first head coach. Los Angeles FC held their own in their inaugural season, qualifying for the MLS Cup playoffs with a record 57 points for a first-year team, as well as reaching the semifinals of the U.S. Open Cup. They followed that up with a then-record 72 points in 2019 to win the Supporters' Shield and reached the conference finals of the MLS Cup Playoffs. The high-powered Black and Gold offense was led by 2019 MLS MVP and Golden Boot winner Carlos Vela, 2020 Golden Boot winner Diego Rossi and forward Adama Diomande, who played under Bradley when both were with the Norwegian club Stabæk in 2015. Bradley coached LAFC up until the end of 2021.

Led by head coach Steve Cherundolo, LAFC won their first MLS Cup in 2022, in addition to taking home the Supporters' Shield. In 2023, the team placed second in the interleague CONCACAF Champions League tournament, and following the regular season, All-Star winger Denis Bouanga was awarded the MLS Golden Boot. As part of the annual "El Tráfico" rivalry match with the LA Galaxy, LAFC helped set the MLS single match attendance record with 82,110 fans gathering at the Rose Bowl on July 4.
