# 2024 Stallion Laguna F.C. season

The 2024 season will be Stallion Laguna's 6th season in both the Copa Paulino Alcantara and Philippines Football League, having been a founding member when it was established in 2017.
The previous season saw the club finish 3rd overall in the Philippines Football League after both United City and the Azkals Development Team withdrew before the season's end. As a result, the club qualified for the 2023–24 AFC Cup for the very first time. However, the club finished bottom of Group G, losing two games to both Bali United and Macarthur FC, though it got its first-ever point with a 2–2 draw against Malaysia's Terengganu FC. In the 2023 edition of the Copa Paulino Alcantara, the club was knocked out in the semifinals by eventual champions Kaya–Iloilo. Due to Liga Futbol Inc.'s relaxing of foreigner regulations, the club let go of many of its older core players and brought in a large number of foreign players, including Copa Sudamericana champion Ezequiel Cirigliano, and Brazilians Gabriel Silva, Magson Dourado, and Théo, The club also managed to keep forward Griffin McDaniel despite interest from Saudi First Division League, A-League, Malaysia Super League, and USL Championship teams.
