U.S. Senators Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) and Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) announced that the Senate unanimously passed their resolution congratulating the Los Angeles Galaxy for winning the 2024 Major League Soccer Cup. The resolution recognizes the achievements and contributions of the entire organization to the Galaxy’s 2-1 finals victory over the New York Red Bulls, marking their league-leading sixth MLS Cup and their 10th overall finals appearance.

Rep. Nanette Barragán (D-Calif.-44) introduced a similar resolution in the House of Representatives.

“The Galaxy proved once again that Los Angeles is a city of champions,” Padilla said. “This record-setting title further cements the Galaxy as the most dominant franchise in MLS history and gives diehard fans countless memories to cherish for years to come.”

“Congratulations to the L.A. Galaxy on being the first to six – and once again proving why California is the soccer capital of the country. You’ve made our state proud, and it’s clear this is only the beginning,” Schiff said.

“The L.A. Galaxy brought joy back to Carson this season with a fast-paced and exciting brand of soccer. Our fans, and the communities throughout Los Angeles that support the Galaxy, have waited a long time to return to the top. Now, the MLS Cup is back home with the winningest club in league history,” Barragán said. “I’m proud to introduce this resolution with Sen. Padilla to celebrate the Galaxy and their championship season. ¡Soy Galaxian!”

The Galaxy went undefeated at home at Dignity Health Sports Park throughout the entire 2024 MLS season and playoff run, scoring a record 18 goals throughout the playoffs. The team was led by players including Gabriel Pec, Joseph Paintsil and Dejan Joveljić, who each scored two goals against Minnesota United FC on Nov. 24, marking the first time in MLS postseason history that three teammates scored a pair of goals in the same match.
