LOS ANGELES, CA (August 26, 2025) — As the countdown to the 2026 FIFA World Cup intensifies, the six-time MLS Cup Champion LA Galaxy announce the launch of Cobi Club, a new video podcast series hosted by club icon Cobi Jones and presented by Intermex. The first episode is available now across major platforms (Apple Podcasts and YouTube).
Timed to coincide with a historic moment for both Jones and the Galaxy, including the upcoming unveiling of a statue honoring Jones at Dignity Health Sports Park in Spring 2026, Cobi Club offers fans a fresh, authentic lens into the world of soccer, culture, and community.
"When we first started talking about creating a show, we knew that it needed to be more than the 'Xs and Os' of soccer and instead showcase the culture of our sport, the people who love the beautiful game, the stories of the players, coaches, fans and more,” said Cobi Jones. “Whether you’ve been following the Galaxy since ‘96 or just starting to fall in love with soccer, Cobi Club is about the stories fans want to hear, with a bit of LA flavor.”
Each episode features candid conversations with a dynamic mix of guests from former teammates and MLS legends to LA tastemakers, musicians, and cultural influencers, offering a unique blend of soccer insight and storytelling.
"At Intermex, our mission has always been to connect families and communities across borders. Partnering with the LA Galaxy and Cobi Jones on this podcast allows us to celebrate not only the sport we love but also the cultural stories that bring people together — just as our services do every day." said Marcelo Theodoro, Chief Product, Marketing and Digital Officer of Intermex.
The debut episode reunites members of the Galaxy’s 2005 MLS Cup-winning team, including Todd Dunivant, Pete Vagenas, coach Steve Sampson, and coach Billy McNicol, and coincides with the club’s 20-year reunion celebration. Future guests include current Galaxy stars, national team icons, and surprise appearances from across the sports and entertainment industry.
“Launching Cobi Club is part of our broader commitment to growing the game and celebrating the voices that have shaped it,” said Tom Braun, President of Business Operations and Chief Operating Officer of the LA Galaxy. “With the World Cup and Olympic games on the horizon and soccer’s momentum surging in the U.S., there’s no better time to spotlight Cobi’s legacy and leadership in the sport.”
Presented by Intermex, Cobi Club will be available in both video and audio formats, with full episodes released monthly on LA Galaxy’s YouTube channel, LAGalaxy.com, and Apple Podcasts. Short form clips and excerpts will also be shared across Galaxy social media channels to reach fans wherever they consume content.
