I will do everything I can to bring championships to this city.""
""We are thrilled that Gisele will be home in Los Angeles through 2029," Angel City sporting director Mark Parsons said in a statement.

Angel City FC signed 19-year-old defender Gisele Thompson to a contract through 2029 after her sister Alyssa moved to Chelsea. Both sisters had signed extensions in January intended to keep them at Angel City through 2028, but Alyssa departed in a $1.3 million deal plus potential add-ons. Chelsea had heavily scouted Gisele as well. Gisele joined Angel City in 2024 and turned professional straight out of high school. She leads the team with four assists this NWSL season and has made four appearances for the USWNT senior team since debuting in February. The club emphasized continued support for her development.
