Son Heung-min's MLS Debut and Upcoming Matches for LAFC

Son Heung-min, the South Korean football star, is set to make his Major League Soccer (MLS) debut with Los Angeles FC (LAFC) in the near future. The article detailing this exciting development was originally written in Korean, but has been translated by a bilingual reporter using AI tools and reviewed and refined by the newsroom staff.

The translation has been carefully edited by a native English-speaking editor to ensure clarity and accuracy for our readers. The article now presents a comprehensive overview of Son's initial MLS opportunities, which include several key games.

Son's MLS debut could have been earlier, with potential matches against Chicago Fire FC on August 9 or the New England Revolution on August 16. However, his confirmed MLS home debut will be against San Diego FC on August 31, 2025, at a time yet to be determined.

Following his home debut, Son will face three road games against FC Dallas on August 23, 2025, at 8:30 pm ET (5:30 pm PT), San Jose Earthquakes on September 13, 2025, at 7:30 pm ET (4:30 pm PT), and a game against LAFC's rival San Diego FC on August 31, 2025, which will be a home game for LAFC.

It's worth noting that Son has already started integrating into the LAFC team, having made his first start for the club in a recent away win over the New England Revolution [5]. As LAFC moves toward the playoffs with 12 regular-season games remaining after Son's signing, these fixtures represent crucial opportunities for the star player.
