Austin FC’s youth academy is under fire as police and the FBI probe serious allegations of sexual abuse among players — a scandal that erupted after parents raised concerns in December 2025. The club swiftly reported the claims to MLS, SafeSport, and authorities, suspended affected age groups, and launched its own internal review — which has already led to disciplinary actions for players, though no staff have been punished. With five teams and 100+ young athletes competing in MLS Next, the investigation is now in the hands of law enforcement, while the club insists its leadership changes are unrelated. Safety remains the top priority as the club and league navigate this painful but necessary reckoning.
