LAFC is set to kick off their MLS campaign with a home match against Minnesota United at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles.
After a highly successful 2024 campaign—winning the U.S. Open Cup, reaching the Leagues Cup final, and finishing as the Western Conference’s top seed—LAFC wasted no time reshaping their roster during the offseason. The club made significant moves, bringing in eight senior players, while also securing contract extensions for Aaron Long and Marlon. In the process, 15 players departed as part of the squad overhaul.
The most eye-catching signing came just before the new season kicked off, catching many by surprise. LAFC capitalized on a key opportunity to acquire Turkey international winger Cengiz Ünder on loan from Fenerbahçe, adding a dynamic new element to their attacking options.
Minnesota, on the other hand, enters this fixture following their preseason preparations and will be aiming to make an early statement after surprising everyone last year. The 2024 season was widely expected to be a rebuilding year for Minnesota, with many predicting a bottom-of-the-table finish.
Entering the campaign without a head coach and facing multiple roster gaps, the Loons seemed destined for a struggle. However, they defied expectations, eventually clinching a playoff berth. They carried that momentum into the postseason, eliminating Real Salt Lake in the first round before falling to eventual MLS Cup champions LA Galaxy in the conference semifinals.
