Carlos Vela — The entry states LAFC won the Supporters' Shield in 2022, but LAFC did not win the Supporters' Shield in 2022; they won it in 2019 and 2023.
Carlos Vela — [contradicted] Vela has not announced retirement :: He announced his retirement on 27 May 2025
Darlington Nagbe — Nagbe's first MLS goal was not the 2011 MLS Goal of the Year; his Goal of the Year winner was a different goal against Seattle Sounders.

Preseason Friendly vs FC Barcelona — The match took place on July 21, 2018, but LAFC's inaugural MLS season began in 2018, so calling it 'Inaugural Season Preseason' is misleading; the 2018 MLS season had already started in March, making this a mid-season friendly, not a preseason match.

Colorado Rapids — [contradicted] LAFC finished with six road wins :: The source states LAFC finished with '7 road wins which is the most for an expansion team in the post-shootout era.'
