La galaxy
An American professional soccer franchise, The Los Angeles Galaxy (LA Galaxy), is based in the Los Angeles suburb of Carson, California. As a major of the Western Conference, La galaxy also competes in the Major League Soccer (MLS). The club had begun to play since 1996 as one of the league’s eight charter members.
The club owned by Anschutz Entertainment Group was found in 1994. The team has a rivalry with the San Jose Earthquakes in the California Clasico and used to play against the city rivals Chivas USA in the SuperClasico, before the team folded in 2014. In 2018, the new rival also emerged in the form of Los Angeles FC in the El Trafico derby.
More about it
The franchise has hence been able to hold the success in Major League Soccer, with a record of five MLS Cups, and the Western Conference regular-season title eight times, four Supporters’ Shields, two US Open Cups and, and one CONCACAF Champions’ Cup title. Later in 2017, the club had an addition of the dubious MLS Wooden Spoon to its trophy case. The franchise was estimated to be the most valuable in the league, worth more than $300 million as of 2019.
