Following the eight-annual signing event for the team, the Houston Dynamo FC Unified Team is preparing for their 2023 season, presented by Cigna. The four-game schedule features three home games at Houston Sports Park, training facility of the Dynamo first team, and one away match in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Tuesday's signing event saw sixteen players join for the 2023 season, flanked by ten Dash players, two Dynamo 2 players, and Assistant General Manager Nick Kowba. The side saw three players return from the 2022 campaign - Paulo Alvarez, Tristan Spencer, and Julio Vargas. The 2023 team also sees Jacquelyn Reyes and Danielle Pulido join as coaches.
Leveraging the power of sport, MLS WORKS, ESPN and Special Olympics have teamed up to promote an environment of social inclusion, which is aligned with the League's Soccer For All platform. Cornerstone to the collaboration is the Special Olympics Unified Sports® Soccer Exchange Program, uniting individuals with intellectual disabilities (Special Olympics athletes) and individuals without intellectual disabilities (Unified partners) as members of one team.
