Carlos Vela Announces Football Retirement

Carlos Vela Announces Retirement from Professional Football

Los Angeles, April 3, 2025 – Mexican football star Carlos Vela has officially announced his retirement from professional football, ending a decorated career that spanned over 17 years. The 35-year-old forward, best known for his time with Los Angeles FC (LAFC) in Major League Soccer (MLS) and Real Sociedad in La Liga, made the announcement via social media on Wednesday.

A Stellar Career

Vela, who began his career with Arsenal in 2005, became one of Mexico’s most celebrated footballers. Despite limited playing time in North London, he flourished during loan spells at Salamanca, Osasuna, and later at Real Sociedad, where he became a fan favorite. His technical skill, precise finishing, and playmaking ability earned him widespread acclaim.

In 2018, Vela moved to LAFC, where he became an MLS icon. He set the league’s single-season scoring record (34 goals) in 2019, earning the MVP award and leading LAFC to the Supporters’ Shield. His partnership with teammates like Diego Rossi and later Gareth Bale made LAFC one of the most exciting teams in the league.

International Contributions

With the Mexican national team, Vela earned 72 caps, scoring 19 goals. He played in two FIFA World Cups (2010, 2018) and was instrumental in Mexico’s 2005 U-17 World Cup victory, where he won the Golden Boot. However, his relationship with the national team was often complicated, as he took extended breaks from international duty.

What’s Next for Vela?

In his retirement statement, Vela expressed gratitude to his family, teammates, and fans. 'Football has given me everything, and now it’s time to start a new chapter,' he wrote. Reports suggest he may transition into a coaching or ambassadorial role, with LAFC reportedly offering him a position within the organization.

Fans and former teammates have flooded social media with tributes, celebrating Vela’s legacy as one of the most skillful and influential players of his generation.

As the football world bids farewell to Carlos Vela, his impact on MLS, Liga MX, La Liga, and Mexican football will be remembered for years to come.
