Angel City Football Club Returns to BMO Stadium to Kick Off Fifth Season

Angel City Football Club (ACFC) returns to BMO Stadium this Sunday, March 15, to kick off its milestone fifth season at home against Chicago Stars FC at 4:00 p.m. PT. Known for its safe, inclusive, high-energy environment, ACFC is leveling up the matchday experience all season long, especially for its season opener with the club's biggest Fan Fest yet, new in-stadium entertainment, and a live halftime music performance.

Sunday's game will feature the debut of the ACFC's new in-game host, Sibley Scoles. Scoles will bring the fun, vibes, and energy to every Angel City match all season long. She is an Emmy-winning journalist covering combat sports, current Las Vegas Raiders in-stadium host, and a strong soccer supporter as an investor in the Oakland Roots and Soul SC.

Fans will also get their first look at ACFC's new house band, Ritmo del Sol, a six-piece female-led drumline and brass band. Ritmo Del Sol will perform throughout the season, alongside interactive activations for all ages at pre-match Fan Fests or Sol Rosa Rallies including one-of-a-kind carnival games operated by LA-based Something New.
