Los Angeles
Our efforts will include bringing fields and resources to diverse
neighborhoods and providing tickets and transportation to
matches.
Los Angeles was a founding city of Major
League Soccer (MLS) and was a proud home
of the North American Soccer League a
generation ago. Many historic football
matches have been staged in the Rose Bowl
including the FIFA World Cup 1994 Final,
the FIFA Women’s World Cup 1999 Final,
and many key CONCACAF Gold Cup
matches. These events have helped further
grow the game and today there are 130,000
registered players, 10,300 teams, and 240
leagues and clubs across Southern California.
Los Angeles is the only city in the US
with seven teams in the five major American
sports leagues and two teams in the MLS –
Los Angeles Galaxy and Los Angeles FC.
The area is home to the Los Angeles Dodgers
(MLB), the Los Angeles Lakers (NBA), the
Los Angeles Kings (NHL), the Los Angeles
Chargers (NFL), and the Los Angeles Rams
(NFL). In the most recent calendar year, more
than 27 million tickets were purchased for
sports events in the area.
