Carlos Vela, former LAFC forward, announced his retirement at 36 and will be the club's first ambassador. He leaves behind a legacy that includes an MLS Cup and two Supporters' Shields. Vela returned to LAFC late last year but ended his playing contract after the 2023 season and will be honored on Sept. 21. His impactful tenure featured numerous accolades, including the Golden Boot in 2019, and he is recognized for shaping LAFC's identity. His new ambassador role will focus on brand growth and community relations.
Helping to build LAFC and winning trophies for the club is a highlight of my career. This club means so much to me and my family.
From the beginning, Carlos has been more than just a player -- he has been the heartbeat, the captain, and the face of LAFC.
