Austin FC make their debut in the MLS away at LAFC

<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/austin-fc-t116282" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Austin FC</strong></a> has slowly been building its brand identity and squad over the last year. In 2018 the club unveiled its logo to the public and while at first there was a lot of controversy surrounding the team, then Columbus Crew owner Anthony Precourt had intentions to move the Crew to Austin and rebrand them since Precourt cited the lack of stadium funding as one of the reasons he wanted to move the team. The move did not happen, and Precourt sold his stake in the Crew to local ownership and put his focus on getting his new MLS team off the ground. Austin FC added Hollywood celebrity <strong>Matthew McConaughey</strong> to their ownership group and through the use of his star power and some excellent local marketing, Austin FC has been riding a strong wave of excitement as they near their first season in<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mls-t16956" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLS</a></strong>.</p>
<p>As MLS’s 27th team, <strong>Austin FC</strong> is the first major professional sports team in the untapped Austin, Texas market.

<p>The <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/seattle-sounders-t118135" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Seattle Sounders</a> were pioneers in attracting A-listers as owners. When the team began play in 2007 the club was an instant success story. The Sounders came out of the gate flying, getting into the playoffs and winning championships. The team was also the highest attended team in the league until Atlanta United came around. Carey was an original investor but shortly after other big names like <strong>Ken Griffey Jr, Russell Wilson, Ciara, and Macklemore </strong>have all jumped on board. The Sounders can arguably be called one of the best sports business success stories of the last 20 years.</p>
