Joining San Diego FC as a partner is an exciting opportunity to help build something truly special in a city and league that are experiencing incredible growth. The commitment of both this Club and Right to Dream to community impact, excellence, and a vision for long-term success aligns perfectly with my own values. I look forward to contributing my experience and passion for the game and working alongside everyone here to build a Club that inspires both on and off the pitch.
Juan Mata joins investment group in securing San Diego FC's upcoming move into the MLS, becoming the first active player to become a partner in a U.S. franchise. Mata was heavily influenced by his charity work, hearing about the project due to his charity 'Common Goal' working closely with Ryan to Dream football academy. This strategic step signifies the ongoing trend of current players becoming involved in franchise ownership.
Mata's involvement with San Diego FC positions him in a unique spot, combining his professional career with a potential role in club management, reminiscent of David Beckham's trajectory within the MLS. His commitment to community impact and football development through his alignment with organizations like Right to Dream reinforces the ethos of modern football's transition towards sustainable and community-oriented structures.
