Ahead of its 12th season in Major League Soccer and its final campaign at Yankee Stadium, NYCFC has tapped into city culture for the announcement of its official mascot, Sky Scraper, a pigeon and local New Yorker. As the club prepares for the start of a new era, it only feels right that Sky writes his own chapter into club history.

NYCFC is on the verge of snagging the firepower it so desperately needs up front, as they are nearing a deal with Mali international striker Moussa Sylla, sources confirm with amNewYork. Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sports Germany was the first to report that the two parties were inching toward an agreement. The 26-year-old Sylla has spent the last two seasons with Schalke in the second tier of German soccer.

NYCFC New York City FC (NYCFC) has appointed Todd Dunivant, a five-time MLS Cup champion and the current general manager of USL Championship side Sacramento Republic FC, as the club's new sporting director after a months-long effort to replace David Lee. NYCFC touted Sacramento Republic's sustained success under Dunivant's leadership over the past eight seasons, with the club reaching the USL Championship play-offs in seven of those eight seasons.

Alonso Martinez's early goal set the tone, while Agustin Ojeda added a second, securing a 2-0 victory for NYCFC against Club Leon at Sports Illustrated Stadium.

The latest NYCFC capsule features two graphic tees, a crewneck sweatshirt, an embroidered cap, and a crochet bucket hat, celebrating New York's soccer culture.

"The pigeon is a tribute to the city that shaped us and a signal that the future of soccer is here in New York City," said Lauren Scrima, the vice-president of marketing at NYCFC.

Mitja Ilenic had an outstanding performance in NYCFC's 3-1 victory over Toronto FC, contributing with a goal and an assist alongside essential defensive plays.

Wolf played a starring role for New York City FC, assisting the opener and scoring two goals in a commanding 4-0 victory over Atlanta United.

I told him he will score, Ilenic said. Now, Bakrar owes him dinner.

We’re playing at home, and we want to bring joy to our fans and keep climbing the table. There are still a lot of games left, but picking up points now is really important.
