ACB will have their full privileges restored for the club's next two matches on the road against D.C. United (March 28) and Vancouver Whitecaps FC (April 4). The group's first home match with full privileges will be the Galaxy's April 12 fixture against Seattle Sounders FC.
“Angel City Brigade has continued to demonstrate their full support of our team while keeping a positive and open dialogue with our club during some difficult circumstances,” LA Galaxy President Chris Klein said in a statement. “As ACB has found ways to support our club while respecting the fan code of conduct guidelines and sanctions, we want to acknowledge their unwavering dedication by providing the full resources to continue their support. We are thankful for the opportunity to collaborate with our fans and help create a top environment during Galaxy games going forward.”
Added ACB President Vanessa Arias, "“We are very pleased to have the opportunity to collaborate with the LA Galaxy to lift the sanctions placed on our group. We couldn’t be happier with the final outcome as it shows our voices are heard not only on the pitch but also resonate within the Galaxy organization. ACB would like to thank fans around our stadium and supporters across the league for their vast support in spreading awareness on this topic and commend our Brigade for staying united during this turbulent time. We look forward to getting back to business as usual."
In their own statement,
ACB stated that they will end their own financial boycott of the Galaxy, StubHub Center and Major League Soccer while also confirming that they will be able to use drums, flags, and pre-game streamers for the April 12 match against the Sounders.
The sanctions were initially levied prior to the season due to the use of streamers during the run of play during 2014 MLS Cup.
