San Diego FC's inaugural home match was overshadowed by incidents of a homophobic chant, commonly heard at Mexican national team games. Coach Mikey Varas and sporting director Tyler Heaps expressed their disappointment, emphasizing the chant does not align with the team's values of diversity and community support. Varas highlighted that such behavior tarnishes the club's image, clarifying that the chant did not come from the core supporter group, La Frontera, but rather from the general crowd. The officials called for inclusivity and respect, stating that those who promote hate should reconsider attending future games.
Varas emphasized the chant wasn't made by San Diego FC's main supporter section, La Frontera, stating, 'This came from more the general population in the seats...'.
Varas opened his postmatch news conference by condemning the fans who made the chant despite repeated warnings against it on the scoreboard and over the public address system.
