Atlético Dallas Secures Dallas Trinity FC in Landmark Deal for North Texas Soccer

The acquisition unites two rising clubs under a shared vision to expand professional soccer in the Dallas‑Fort Worth metroplex, with plans to host matches at the Cotton Bowl by 2027.

Atlético Dallas announced this week that it has completed the acquisition of Dallas Trinity FC, a move that underscores the club’s ambition to cement the Dallas‑Fort Worth region as a hub for professional soccer in the United States.

A Shared Vision for Growth

Founder Matt Valentine praised the Neil family’s long‑term commitment to the sport, noting that their shared philosophy of community‑driven growth made the partnership a natural progression.

Dallas Trinity FC, which entered its second season with a 23‑14‑19 record and a playoff appearance, will continue competing in the Gainbridge Super League while navigating a schedule that includes high‑profile matches against clubs such as FC Barcelona and Club América.

The combined entity plans to bring competitive fixtures to the historic Cotton Bowl, with Atlético Dallas slated to make its debut in the USL Championship in 2027, marking a new era for soccer in the metroplex.

Looking Ahead

Both clubs envision a future where youth academies, local partnerships and market expansion drive the sport’s popularity, positioning North Texas alongside traditional soccer strongholds on the national stage.
