The Dallas Cup has announced that former Super Group champion, Fulham FC, will compete in the Gordon Jago Super Group at the 2023 Dallas Cup. Barça Residency Academy, based out of Arizona, will also compete in the elite 19 & Under bracket.
Unfortunately, the addition of Fulham and Barça comes as two teams have had to withdraw from the competition. Arsenal FC was forced to bow out due to a scheduling conflict with their upcoming FA Youth Cup match. Toronto FC has also withdrawn from the Dallas Cup.
London’s oldest professional football club, Fulham won the 2013 title. They also reached the 2016 Gordon Jago Super Group final, only to fall short against Everton FC.
Barça Residency Academy will join the 2023 Gordon Jago Super Group replacing Toronto FC. Based out of Casa Grande, Arizona, Barça Academy is a founding member of the MLS Next
