Outside of MLS play, the Boys in Gold advanced to the inaugural Leagues Cup Final, earning a berth in next year's CONCACAF Champions Cup.
The Club returns a core group of veteran leaders in 2024, including 2023 MLS All Stars and Best XI selections Hany Mukhtar and Walker Zimmerman; goalkeeper Joe Willis; defensive stalwarts Daniel Lovitz, Jack Maher, and Shaq Moore; midfielders Aníbal Godoy, Randall Leal, and Jacob Shaffelburg; and forwards Teal Bunbury and Sam Surridge.
