Problem Statement

Let ABCDABCD be an isosceles trapezoid with ABCDAB \parallel CD. The inscribed circle ω\omega of triangle BCDBCD meets CDCD at EE. Let FF be a point on the (internal) angle bisector of DAC\angle DAC such that EFCDEF \perp CD. Let the circumscribed circle of triangle ACFACF meet line CDCD at CC and GG. Prove that the triangle AFGAFG is isosceles.
