What happened: LAFC announced it will face El Salvador's national team, La Selecta, in a friendly at BMO Stadium on July 5. The club said tickets go on sale the following morning at 10 AM PT.

Why it matters: The exhibition gives LAFC a marquee international fixture during a break in the league calendar and a natural draw for the large Salvadoran community in Los Angeles. Hosting a CONCACAF national side at BMO Stadium also keeps the venue active and builds matchday momentum heading deeper into the 2026 season.

What to watch: Watch for the ticket on-sale to open at 10 AM PT and for LAFC to confirm which first-team players will feature in the friendly.
