Last week, thousands of fans packed the Rady Shell in Downtown San Diego to welcome Lozano to the city.
The club made the announcement on June 6 and said Lozano, 28, was acquired as the first Designated Player in San Diego FC history and signed the winger to a four-year contract through the end of the 2028 MLS season with two option years.
San Diego FC reached an agreement with Lozano’s current club, PSV Eindhoven, of the Eredivisie in the Netherlands where Lozano will remain for the remainder of 2024. He will join the San Diego FC on January 1, 2025.
“Signing a player of the international stature of ‘Chucky’ Lozano is the biggest possible endorsement of our project in San Diego,” said San Diego FC Owner and Chairman, Sir Mohamed Mansour. “His journey from Pachuca, Mexico to the world stage resonates with how Right to Dream provides opportunities for talent everywhere, and we hope that story can inspire and motivate the next generation of talent in San Diego and around the world.”
