Former NBA stars Andre Iguodala and Pau Gasol were part of the soldout crowd at PayPal Park for Bay FC’s inaugural home game Saturday night.
Parece que a Pau Gasol también le gusta Bay FC. https://t.co/2sh3LNYV4w pic.twitter.com/lx2DR3vTEh

The ex-Golden State Warriors star Iguodala is a member of Bay FC’s ownership group. And before Gasol won two NBA championships with the Los Angeles Lakers, he played on Spain’s illustrious soccer team, FC Barcelona. The new Bay FC star forward Asisat Oshoala transferred from Barcelona’s women’s team.
Bay FC lost in a back-and-forth match, 3-2, in front of a capacity crowd of 19,000.
Decked out in Bay FC merch, Iguodala held true to his promise at a rally for the team at the Presidio in June:
“We’re going to do this thing right and I’m going to see you at many games,” he told the crowd. “I couldn’t be prouder to be part of this fantastic group.”
