Background

Coaching changes

On January 11, 2023, Angel City FC announced the hiring of NJ/NY Gotham FC assistant coach Becki Tweed to the same role, reuniting her with head coach Freya Coombe. [1] Angel City then hired Melissa Phillips as first assistant coach on January 22. [2]

Summary

March

Angel City FC hosted Club América in an international club friendly on March 8, 2023, winning 3–0. High-school draft pick Alyssa Thompson made her professional debut and scored her first professional goal in the match. [3]

HBO announced on March 23 a three-party documentary series titled Angel City that covered the club's founding. [4] The series aired in May. [5]

As of March 24, Angel City FC reportedly had 16,000 season ticket holders. [6]

Angel City played its season and home opener on March 26, against NJ/NY Gotham FC. The match featured Thompson's first regular-season goal, and the first use of video assistant referee (VAR) in the NWSL, which overturned a Jun Endo goal for Angel City scored from midfield. The club lost the match 1–2. [7]

On March 29, Angel City announced the transfer and signing of Mexican national team forward and San Diego native Scarlett Camberos from Club América of Mexico's Liga MX Femenil for an undisclosed fee. Camberos had experienced persistent harassment from a fan while playing for América and requested the transfer for her safety. [8] [9]

April

During a match against Orlando Pride on April 2, Angel City forward Simone Charley suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon. On April 11, the club placed her on its season-ending injury list. [10] The 2–1 match was Angel City's first win of the regular season, but it would be their only win of the month, ending April with a 1–2–2 record on the season in league play and a loss in the month's only match of the 2023 NWSL Challenge Cup.

On April 7, assistant coach Melissa Phillips accepted the role of manager at Brighton & Hove Albion of the English Women's Super League. [11]

On April 17, Angel City announced the signing of United States national team midfielder Julie Ertz to a one-year contract. [12]

May

On May 13, Angel City FC lost a match against Washington Spirit 1–0 after Ashley Hatch scored a penalty kick. Referee JC Griggs awarded the penalty as the result of a handball call, ruling the foul was a result of a deflection of the ball off Angel City defender M.A. Vignola's body and into her shoulder, which her arm movement had been made "unnaturally bigger, blocking the path of the ball". The call was reviewed and confirmed by VAR. Following the match, coach Freya Coombe obstructed club president Julie Uhrman from confronting officials on the pitch. On May 17, Uhrman was fined an undisclosed amount by the league for violating league policies against approaching officials. [13]

On May 20, goalkeeper DiDi Haračić and the Angel City defense registered its first shutout in a 0–0 draw against North Carolina Courage. [14] On the same day, Angel City announced that defender Vanessa Gilles's loan to Olympique Lyon would be extended to June 2024 [15] from its previous expiration of the end of Lyon's 2022–23 season in June. [16]

On May 25, Sports Business Journal named the club its 2023 sports team of the year, over the NFL's Buffalo Bills, NHL's Florida Panthers, and NBA's Golden State Warriors. [17]

On May 27, Angel City FC suffered its worst loss since June 3, 2022, losing 1–4 to OL Reign in Seattle despite going up early on a Claire Emslie goal scored directly from a corner. The Reign outshot Angel City 25–7, and Megan Rapinoe assisted on all the Reign's first three goals. [18] Angel City closed the month with a May 31 Challenge Cup loss at Portland Thorns FC, fighting back from a 0–2 deficit to equalize in the second half but conceding a goal in the 3rd minute of second-half stoppage time to lose 2–3.

Her firing followed a 2–6–3 start to the season, and Angel City were in 11th place of 12 teams at the time of her exit. The team named assistant coach Becki Tweed as Coombe's interim replacement. [23]

Following the departure of Coombe, in interim coach Becki Tweed's first official game as head coach, Angel City was able to comeback from a 1–0 deficit to defeat rivals San Diego Wave away in San Diego in a 1–2 victory with M.A. Vignola scoring the match winner. [24]

On June 25, Angel City was able to keep their undefeated streak going in a 0–0 draw against Houston Dash in the last match before players who had been called up for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand departed. [25] Four Angel City players, Jun Endo, Ali Riley, Julie Ertz, and Alyssa Thompson had been selected by their respective national teams to represent their countries at the World Cup. Due to the unavailability of those players during this period, Angel City announced on June 28 that they would be signing defenders Elizabeth Eddy and Kelsey Hill as National Team Replacement Players (NTRP).

On August 20, in the first NWSL regular season match since the World Cup break, Angel City traveled to play Racing Louisville FC which ended in a 1–1 draw. A week later on August 27, in the first home game after the World Cup break, Angel City defeated OL Reign for the first time in the clubs history in a 2–1 victory which also saw Madison Hammond score her first NWSL goal against her former club which eventually was the match winner.
