Tension is growing in San Diego FC and it is not only felt on the field, since during the recent match against LAFC, fans of the Californian club took their dissatisfaction to another level by displaying a message from the sky, a small plane flew over Snapdragon Stadium with the phrase “Free Chucky”, in reference to Mexican Hirving Lozano.
The gesture reflects the discontent of part of the fans following the absence of the former Napoli player, who has not been considered by the team since the beginning of 2026. Although the club has not given recent public details about his situation, his departure from the call-ups dates back to an internal conflict that occurred in 2025.

The plane with the message “Free Chucky = more victories” quickly became a topic of conversation on social media.
For many fans, the Mexican represents a player capable of making a difference at key moments.
Especially in a team looking to improve its offensive punch.

So far, San Diego FC has maintained its stance of not including Chucky Lozano in its sporting plans.
The decision would be related to an internal incident that occurred in October 2025, although no additional official details have been disclosed.
This type of situation is not unusual in professional soccer, where disciplinary or strategic decisions can leave out important players.
