Angel City FC wears shirts declaring itself 'Immigrant City Football Club'
Briefly

Angel City FC demonstrated its solidarity with immigrants by wearing 'Immigrant City Football Club' T-shirts and reading a supportive message before their match against North Carolina Courage. They were the first professional sports team in Los Angeles to express their support amid recent immigration raids. The initiative aimed to highlight the importance of diversity within Los Angeles, with a notable statement from singer Becky G affirming that the club and city are shaped by immigrants, reinforcing a message of community strength and belonging.
At Angel City, we believe in the power of belonging. We know that Los Angeles is stronger because of its diversity and the people and the families who shape it, love it, and call it home.
The fabric of this city is made of immigrants. Football does not exist without immigrants. This club does not exist without immigrants. This is our home. This is LA. This is Immigrant City.
