Houston Dynamo FC began preparations for its 16th season in Major League Soccer on March 1 at Houston Sports Park.
This will be the second training camp under head coach Tab Ramos, who was appointed as the Club’s fourth full-time head coach in November 2019. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related health and safety protocols, the Dynamo will remain in Texas for preseason.
The team returns to Houston Sports Park following a week-long voluntary quarantine that began on Feb. 22 and a return to the MLS PCR testing cadence. MLS announced on Feb. 13 that players could begin their seven-day quarantine period prior to March 1 on a voluntary basis. As a result, players may engage in group training following the seven-day quarantine period provided that each player has conducted medical exams and testing.
