Buzz mentioned that Munjoma was his sole Homegrown target of FC Dallas’ college players right now. A player who can play full back on both sides, and even venture into the wings if required. Solid defensively, and an attacking threat that Luchi Gonzalez knows well as Munjoma’s coach in the academy.

“Eddie is part of a special generation of players in this country, ranging from ages 17-23, because the Academy kicked off at the right time. He is also the first FC Dallas Academy product to get a college education while playing soccer all four years, graduate and then sign a contract. This moment is something my brother and I have been talking about, so it’s special to have him join FC Dallas.”
