Golden City FC’s proposal included at least $10 million in Kezar Stadium improvements, according to San Francisco’s May 12, 2025 announcement.
The original proposal links soccer to public stadium work
The city described a partnership to bring an independent professional soccer club to Kezar. The planned investment was intended to benefit the stadium’s community users as well as the team.
The proposal identified MLS NEXT Pro as the intended league and discussed a 2026 or 2027 start. Those were planning targets in the 2025 announcement.
CSB Take
The proposal linked the club’s ambitions to a public facility investment. Subsequent reporting in 2026 raised questions about the project’s timeline, making the original dates important context.
