Making room in the midfield and picking up an extra international spot for 2026 and 2027…. What are they planning to do with those 👀
Always part of the ACFC family 💪🖤
Thank you, Macey.
Angel City FC has traded midfielder Macey Hodge to Racing Louisville FC. In exchange, ACFC will receive $55,000 in intra-league transfer funds, $28,000 in allocation funds, and international spots for both 2026 and 2027.

With the addition of Sams ACFC now has 24 rostered players. I expect we will sign a 3rd goalkeeper and then we will have one remaining spot on the team.
We are still thin at outside back and would love a marquee winger but seems like there is only going to be room for 1.

@tayvincent6.bsky.social I see on spotrac you have ACFC’s Sophia Mattice as under contract for 2026–do you know when that was announced? I thought she was on a short term contract for max timeframe which was until the end of season 2025.

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve.
Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body.
This is not new but it is expanding.

Your reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular.
From ICE detention to murder with impunity, we've been doing it. Now it's broadened.

Allocation by any other name. Making marketability a requirement is a dangerous game to play in a racist sport. But that's my little ol opinion.
