Austin Police, Austin FC Academy, MLS and SafeSport
Monday
Police are investigating allegations of youth-on-youth misconduct involving players at Austin FC’s developmental academy. The club said the affected players were suspended and expelled, while activities for the relevant academy age group were also halted.
Austin FC said it learned of the allegations in December 2025 and immediately reported them to police, MLS and the U.S. Center for SafeSport. Authorities provided no details because juveniles are involved and the investigation remains active.
