Autentico - To me it reflects being genuine in my interactions, while building meaningful relationships, and honoring the upbringing and environment that shaped me. Our authenticity is rooted in the principles instilled by our family, home, and city, making it a fundamental part of our identity.

Maat’ aaw - to me is the passion that runs through me, my family, and my culture of our love of soccer and how it can unify all countries no matter the differences all for the enjoyment of a beautiful sport. That is the power that can come from being passionate, all differences are put aside and where we can be unified with the person on our left and right to cheer our hearts out for our team!

Maat’aww is that fire inside, the spirit that drives us. Growing up in San Diego, living all over this city, I’ve felt that energy in every corner — it’s what makes this place special. I try to bring that same spirit to everything I do, hoping to help build a community that lasts long after I’m gone.

Maat’aaw - Being part of a supporter group that transforms watching soccer from a solitary experience into a vibrant community event. It’s about shared joy, collective heartbreak, unyielding loyalty to our team and building relationships through a shared passion for SDFC.

Respect: I respect that we all formed a union coming from different backgrounds (hometowns, race , religion, creed, gender, age, sexual preference etc.) I respect that I and everyone else in the union can learn and grow from these differences of others. All this in tandem will create a supporters union that the club, city, and MLS can respect
