The FC Dallas Academy teams started training for the 2025-26 season back in early August, with the season starting up in early September.
There doesn’t seem to be any major changes in the MLS Next system this year, but there have been a couple of coaching shifts in the FCD Academy.
FCD listed everyone on the rosters they gave me with their native age groups, so I will do the same here. But we know FCD was aggressive in moving players up last year, and I expect that to continue.
FC Dallas U12s – 2014s
North Head Coach: Ricardo Cavalcante
South Head Coach: Tony Falcon
A combined 2014 team made FCD history as the first team to progress out of the “Gold Division” at the 2024 Iscar Cup. They are also the youngest FCD team to win Copa Rayados.
Next season (26-27), these two teams will combine into a single U13 side.
As usual, this far down the age groups, no Buzz List.
