LAFC, a three-year-old club and academy based in La Canada, Calif., will now be LAFC Chelsea and host Chelsea tournaments, training sessions and a player and coach exchange program.
As a result of the partnership, LAFC Chelsea will offer more scholarships for young athletes with financial hardship.
"LAFC was created to provide an affordable option for skilled players to play top-tier club soccer," LAFC President Don Sheppard said. "We've been able to reach out to economically disadvantaged communities to recruit some of the best talent in the United States."
