Dallas Trinity FC is an American women's

Dallas, Texas. It will be a member of the USL Super League, a Division I league operated by the United Soccer League
, and is scheduled to debut in August 2024.

History

A team representing the

National Women’s Soccer League in 2021, but the franchise fee was too high, so the Neils went to the United Soccer League, which was planning to move into the Dallas region anyway and had a much lower fee.[1] Private funding for the team was paired with $592,000 from the city to have the team play at the Cotton Bowl, by far the highest-capacity stadium in the Super League.[2] The deal was designed for a two-year term with an option for future seasons.[2][3]

The name and branding for the team was announced on May 9, 2024, with elements inspired by the Trinity River.[4] Chris Petrucelli was named the initial general manager and the team was confirmed to start play when the league launches on August 16.[5] Pauline MacDonald was publicly named the club's first coach in June.[6]
