The team plays from March to November at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas. One of the fi rst soccer-specifi c stadiums built in the United States, the venue plays host to Major League Soccer matches, concerts, international soccer matches and high school football. The 145-acre Toyota Soccer Center also includes 17 regulation- sized, tournament-grade soccer fi elds and is also home to the organization’s nationally- renowned youth development system. FC Dallas became a charter member of Major League Soccer on June 6, 1995. Known originally as the Dallas Burn, the team’s colors (green and red) and logo (fi re-breathing horse) were unveiled at a gala in New York City on October 17, 1995. That same day, MLS announced that Mexican-icon Hugo Sanchez was allocated to the team as its fi rst player in team history. Six months later, Dallas played its fi rst MLS game, defeating the San Jose Clash (now Houston Dynamo) in front of 27,779 fans at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas on April 14, 1996. In its second year, Dallas claimed its fi rst major championship, winning the 1997 U.S. Open Cup title by defeating D.C. United 5-3 on penalty kicks after a scoreless game. The franchise was a league-owned entity from its inception until the fall of 2003, when Lamar Hunt and his family took over the operating rights. The team changed its name to FC Dallas after the conclusion of the 2004 season. As part of the club’s rebranding, new uniforms and a new logo (designed by Lamar Hunt) were also unveiled. The logo features the name FC Dallas and the number 96, signifying the year the club played its inaugural game, above a drawing of a bull, signifying the kind of Texas cattle that were driven along North Texas trails throughout the 19th century. The logo features the club’s new colors red, white and blue. After playing all of the team’s home games at either the Cotton Bowl in Dallas or Dragon Stadium in Southlake, Texas for the fi rst nine- and-a-half seasons of its existence, FC Dallas moved to its new home, Toyota Stadium, the third soccer-specifi c stadium in MLS, on August 6, 2005. Since 1996, FC Dallas has compiled a regular season record of 289-266-141. The club has qualifi ed for the postseason in 15 of its 22 seasons. Under longtime SMU head coach Schellas Hyndman, the team won its fi rst Western Conference Championship and reached its fi rst MLS Cup Final in 2010, but fell, 2-1, to the Colorado Rapids in overtime of a match hosted by Toronto FC in Toronto, Canada. A former player, Oscar Pareja became head coach of FC Dallas in 2014 and established a new identity for the franchise based around the FC Dallas youth academy. Since establishing the club as the leader in youth devel- opment in MLS, Pareja compiled franchise-record, 60-point seasons in 2015 and 2016, claimed the franchise’s fi rst Supporters’ Shield (regular season championship) in 2016 and second Lamer Hunt U.S. Open Cup title (2016). 6 | 2018 FC Dallas Media Guide ABOUT FC DALLAS 2018 COMPETITIONS The main goal for every team throughout the MLS regular season is to put itself in position to win the MLS Cup in December. Along the way, there are several other competitions that FCD will participate in. These competitions are played during the regular season, which is why on some occasions, FCD will play against another MLS team but the results won’t have an impact on the regular season standings. SUPPORTERS’ SHIELD The Supporters’ Shield is given to the team that fi nishes the MLS regular season with the best record in the league (most points). CONCACAF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE U.S.-based MLS teams qualify for the annual tournament by 1) Winning MLS Cup 2) Winning the Sup- porters’ Shield 3) Having the best regular-season record in the conference opposite the Supporters’ Shield winner or 4) Winning the U.S. Open Cup. Each year, the four qualifi ed teams from the previous season, represent the U.S. in the CONCACAF region (North America/Central America/ Caribbean). FC DALLAS IN CONCACAF CHAMPIONS’ LEAGUE FCD fi rst qualifi ed for the CCL tournament in 2011 by advancing to MLS Cup in 2010. It was eliminated in the fi nal match of the Group Stage by Toronto FC in 2011. FC Dallas grabed its second CCL berth by fi nishing fi rst in the Western Conference during the 2015 MLS regular season. FCD advanced out of the Group Stage, defeated Arabe Unido (Panama), 5-2, in the Quarterfi nals but fell, 4-3, to Pachuca in the 2017 Semifi nals. FC Dallas qualifi ed for the 2018 tournament by winning the 2016 Supporters’ Shield/U.S. Open Cup. LAMAR HUNT U.S. OPEN CUP The Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup is an annual competition open to all amateur and professional soccer teams affi liated with U.S. Soccer. The tournament has crowned a champion for 103 consecutive years dating back to 1914. Within the U.S. Open Cup framework, teams compete in one of three categories: professional outdoor Division I (MLS), Division II (USL/NASL) or Amateur Division (USL Premier Devel- opment League & U.S. Adult Soccer Association). FCD won the Open Cup in 1997 and has reached the fi nal on two other occasions (2005 vs. LA, 2007 vs. NE). FC Dallas hoisted the 2017 Open Cup after de- feading the New England Revolution, 4-2, in front of a capacity crowd at Toyota Stadium on Sept. 13. EL CAPITAN (cid:885) THE CANNON The San Jose Clash relocated to Houston ahead of the 2006 season, an instant rivalry was born between the two Texas-based MLS teams. Prior to the fi rst-ever mee(cid:415) ng, the teams agreed to play, each season, for the right to keep a 19th century Mountain Howitzer cannon named El Capitan. FC DALLAS IN THE BATTLE FOR EL CAPITAN Houston claimed the cannon in 2006 (2-1-1) and 2007 (3-0-1). FC Dallas eanred its fi rst taste of victory (on away goals (cid:415) ebreaker) in the compe(cid:415) (cid:415) on in 2008 (1-1-1). Houston (2-1-0) reclaimed the cannon in 2009. FC Dallas took it back in 2010 (1-0-1). Houston (1-0-1) won in 2011 and 2012 (1-0-0). FC Dallas claimed the trophy in 2013 (1-0-0), 2014 (1-0-0) and 2015 (3-0-0). Houston took the 2016 series based on goal diff eren(cid:415) al and retained the cannon a(cid:332) er the teams (cid:415) ed three (cid:415) mes during the 2017 season. BRIMSTONE CUP In 2001, a series of intense matches between FCD and Chicago spurred fans of both clubs to create the Brimstone Cup - awarded annually to fans of the team that wins the season series. FC DALLAS IN THE BRIMSTONE CUP Chicago won fi rst-ever Brimstone Cup in 2001 but did not hold the trophy again until the 2013 season (12 years). The 2013 season was also the fi rst year FCD and Chicago began playing only once per season. Chicago kept the cup from 2013 to 2015. FC Dallas took it in 2016 and Chicago reclaimed it in 2017. 2018 FC Dallas Media Guide | 7 ABOUT TOYOTA STADIUM Opened on August 6, 2005, Toyota Stadium is a 145-acre multipurpose sports and entertainment facility located at the intersection of Main Street and Dallas North Tollway in Frisco, Texas, and is the home stadium for FC Dallas. The combination of a world-class stadium and a sports park make Toyota Stadium one of the best and most unique soccer facilities in the world. Included in the facility is the 20,500 (currently 16,000 due to construction of the U.S. Soccer Hall of Fame) pro soccer stadium which features a built-in stage on the north end and 29 suites. Located on the west side of the stadium, the suites are immediately above the lower bowl seating area and provide an outstanding view of both the playing fi eld and the concert stage. By adding fi eld seats above a state-of-the art Terrafl or covering, the stadium can accommodate over 27,000 fans for concerts. The facility has demonstrated to be one of the top venues in the United States for both professional and amateur soccer. Toyota Soccer Center, which includes 18 tournament- grade fi elds used for youth and adult soccer, as well as high school sports and other events, has drawn over a million visitors each year since opening. The public-private complex is owned by the City of Frisco in partnership with Hunt Sports Group, the Frisco Independent School District, and Collin County. Along with U.S. Soccer, Toyota Stadium unveiled plans for a $39 million project featuring more than 100,000 square feet of renovated space, new locker rooms, premium seats, a private club and the U.S. Soccer National Hall of Fame Museum on October 14, 2015. The 24,000 square foot museum and event center will house U.S. Soccer’s hardware: the U.S. Womens’ World Cups, U.S. Men’s Gold Cups and the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup trophies, as well as Olympic medals. Toyota Stadium will also become the permanent site for the annual National Soccer Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Luxury seating on the South end will be covered by a roof and include pregame dining inside a private club featuring views into the player hallway and out to the fi eld.

The Colombian star hung up his boots in 2005 after tallying 13 goals and 47 assists (second all-time) in a Dallas kit. He spent the next two seasons as an assistant coach for FC Dallas before joining longtime friend and former Colombian National Team teammate Wilmer Cabrera’s (now head coach of the Houston Dynamo) staff with the U.S. U-17 Men’s National Team. In 2008, Pareja rejoined FCD as Director of Player Development for the FC Dallas Youth system, a program he quickly established as one of the nation’s best. In the 2010-11 season, Pareja was named the U-18 Academy Coach of the Year before taking the U-18s to a runner-up fi nish at the USSDA National Championship. U.S. Soccer rated the FC Dallas Academy No. 1 in the nation out of more than 70 clubs in 2011. Also in 2011, Pareja served as an assistant coach for the FC Dallas fi rst team and head coach of the FC Dallas Reserves. Exactly six years to the day after he scored his last goal as a player for FC Dallas, Pareja was inducted into the Walk of Fame alongside former teammate and friend, Bobby Rhine, who passed away unexpectedly one month prior to the induction. The Colorado Rapids named Pareja as head coach following the 2011 season. In two seasons, the former Dallas man went 25-31-13, orchestrating a 2013 turnaround that saw the Rapids back in the postseason and had Pareja featured among MLS Coach of the Year candidates. With FC Dallas, Pareja has a MLS record of 62-40-34 in four seasons, as well as an 10-2-2 record in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and 4-2-2 record in CONCACAF Champions League play. In his fi rst year as head coach of FC Dallas, in 2014, Pareja won 16 games – the most FC Dallas had won in a single season since 2006. Pareja also led Dallas back into the postseason for the fi rst time since 2011, tied the franchise record for goals scored in a season (55) and recorded the most points in a season in franchise history (54). In his third year at the helm of FC Dallas, Pareja led the club to its fi rst title in 19 years with a domestic double. The club captured its second U.S. Open Cup title (1997, 2016) with a 4-2 victory over the New England Revolution on Sept. 13, 2016, followed by its fi rst Supporters’ Shield title after registering the best regular-season record (17-8-9 record, 60 points). FCD became the fi rst team in league history to record consecutive 60-plus point seasons after fi nishing the 2015 campaign with an identical 60-point mark (18-10-6). For his efforts, Pareja was named the 2016 MLS Coach of the Year on Dec. 1, 2016. During his playing career, Pareja appeared in 385 games for Independiente Medellin and Deportivo Cali before joining MLS in 1998. He then played 183 games in MLS (New England and Dallas). Pareja also earned 11 caps with the Colombian National Team, scoring three goals for his country from 1991 to 1996.
