January 19, 2024 – National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) – Angel City FC News Release
LOS ANGELES – Newly signed Angel City Football Club (ACFC) forward Casey Phair received a warm welcome last night from the Koreatown Run Club at Love Hour in Koreatown. Phair is not only the youngest player to sign with Angel City in the club’s history, she is also the youngest player ever to play in a Women’s World Cup match following her appearances with the Korean Women’s National Team this past summer.
The 16-year-old forward is gearing up for preseason with her new ACFC teammates as they get ready to prepare for the 2024 NWSL Season. Phair is excited to get to explore her new home moving from New Jersey to LA to play with ACFC.
“Everything about the city, I really like,” Phair said to Angelcity.com having been to Koreatown for the first time. “It’s so big- it took 15 minutes just to get across! Obviously I come from a Korean family, so to have that so close is so nice.”
“And then also to play in front of the Korean fans here,” she adds. “I’ve never been to a game, but everyone told me [Angel City] fans are amazing. I think that’s what I’m most excited for.”
