LAFA has also signed seasoned Italian and Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini ahead of the 2022–23 season. Gareth Bale’s desire to play frequently to keep up his fitness in preparation for the FIFA World Cup in Qatar in 2022 may have contributed to his decision to join MLS.

This victory qualified Wales for the multi-nation event.
