Son Heung-min (LAFC) started training with a warm welcome.
LA FC will play the New England Revolution at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts on the 17th (Korea time) in 2025 Major League Soccer (MLS). LA FC is ranked 5th with 10 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses (37 points) in the Western District.
The match is expected to be a possibility of Son Heung-min's starting debut. Son Heung-min had a joining ceremony for LA FC on the 7th. On the 10th, he made his LA FC debut in an away game between the Chicago Fire and MLS at Sitgig Stadium in Bridgeview, Illinois. Son Heung-min, who started the game on the bench, changed from his training suit to his uniform and prepared to play in the 14th minute of the second half. He played instead of David Martinez in the 16th minute of the second half. The audience applauded Son Heung-min. He cheered every time he caught the ball. Son Heung-min attempted his first MLS shot with his left foot from the front outside the penalty area in the 22nd minute of the second half. His true value was even more glistening at the moment of crisis. Son Heung-min earned a penalty kick in the 32nd minute of the second half when his team was trailing 1-2. He fell behind the opponent's defender while driving the ball in a counterattack. Video VAR confirmed the penalty. Deeney Buanga scored as a kicker. After that, the two teams finished the game 2-2 without any additional points.
After the game, Son Heung-min said, `It was a lot of fun. I played in the English Premier League (EPL). When I was playing in an away stadium, I always booed me and booed the players. But it was good to see people celebrating and enjoying soccer. It was hotter than England, but other than that, it was really enjoyable. It was the first game. I'm sure I'll be able to make better memories in the next few weeks. I want to do well in MLS as well. I want to be a part of it."

Meanwhile, interest in Son Heung-min is very hot. Los Angeles FC co-chairman and general manager John Thorrington said in an interview with Talk Sports in the U.K. on the 15th that `Son Heung-min's uniforms were the most sold in all sports in the world during the week.'
LA FC's ticket prices are also said to have risen significantly. Talk Sports said, `The ticket price against San Diego soared from 300 dollars to 1,500 dollars on the 31st, the day Son Heung-min made his home debut. Torrington said, `The success of recruiting Son will be judged not by commercial success but by the trophy. We expect both team performance and commercial success," he added.
