AUSTIN, Texas -- Law enforcement officials said Monday they are investigating allegations of misconduct by players at Austin FC's developmental youth academy, which resulted in players being expelled and the suspension of team activities for the affected age group.

In a statement issued Friday, Austin FC Academy said it learned in December 2025 of allegations of "youth-on-youth" misconduct among a group of players and immediately reported it to Austin police, Major League Soccer and the U.S. Center for SafeSport.

Neither the academy nor police provided details on the alleged misconduct.
