    FC Dallas

    Toyota Stadium, home ground of FC Dallas

    FC Dallas are one of the original teams of Major League Soccer, having been founded in 1995 ahead of the 1996 inaugural season.

    They were known as the Dallas Burn for their first decade in existence and played at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. Since 2004, they have been known as FC Dallas and the team moved into Toyota Park, a soccer-specific stadium in the Dallas suburb of Frisco, in 2005.

    The Burn were founded by Lamar Hunt, owner of the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs. They are currently owned by the Hunt Sports Group and run by Lamar's sons Clark and Dan. Dan serves as the team president.
    Dallas have never won an MLS Cup, finishing as runners-up in 2010, but they did win the Supporters' Shield in 2016. They have won the US Open Cup twice, as the Burn in 1997 and as FC Dallas in 2016.
    The team is nicknamed the Toros. When they started as the Burn, they played in red and black, and the logo featured a fire-breathing mustang. With the move to Toyota Stadium, the group rebranded as FC Dallas and added colours. The official colours are now Republic Red, Lonestar White, Bovine Blue and Shawnee Silver. Red is still the primary colour for the home kit, with blue featured on the away kit. The new crest features a bull with '96' above its head and the Texas star below the bull's mouth.

    Players like Jason Kreis, Maxi Urruti, Kellyn Acosta, Denilson, Eddie Johnson, Dax McCarty, Brek Shea and Walker Zimmerman have all featured for the team. FC Dallas have also successfully developed players and sold them to European teams, including Weston McKennie, Chris Richards, Reggie Cannon, Rogelio Funes Mori and Jose Ramiro Funes Mori.
