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.
The ex-Golden State Warriors star Iguodala is a member of the Bay FC's ownership group. And before Gasol won two NBA championships with the Los Angeles Lakers, he was a member of 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."
