Dallas Trinity FC (DTFC) is an American professional women's soccer club based in Dallas, Texas, that competes in the USL Super League (USLS).
A team representing the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex was announced in May 2023, along with the founding of the United Soccer League's USL Super League. Initially, investor Jim Neil and his family sought to found a team in the National Women’s Soccer League in 2021, but the franchise fee was too high, so the Neils went to the United Soccer League, which was planning to move into the Dallas region anyway and had a much lower fee. Private funding for the team was paired with $592,000 from the city to have the team play at the Cotton Bowl, by far the highest-capacity stadium in the Super League. The deal was designed for a two-year term with an option for future seasons.
Chris Petrucelli was named the initial general manager and the team confirmed to start play when the league began on August 17, 2024. Scotland's long tenured U-17 coach, Pauline MacDonald, was publicly named the club's first coach in June 2024. Amber Brooks became Dallas's first signing on May 31, 2024.
Adding to the excitement, Dallas Trinity brought in several players who are either from the DFW Metroplex or played college soccer in the Metroplex including: Hailey Davidson, Haley Berg, Allie Thornton, Gracie Brian, Cyera Hintzen, Enzi Broussard, Chioma Ubogagu, Madison White, Samantha Meza, Jenna Winebrenner and Sam Estrada.
Dallas played their inaugural match on August 18, 2024, against Tampa Bay Sun FC. With head coach MacDonald unavailable due to work visa complications, GM Petrucelli stepped in as interim head coach for the game. Dallas dominated much of the match, with Hannah Davison scoring Dallas's opening goal in first-half stoppage time, marking the first goal in club history. However, Tampa Bay equalized in the second half, and despite several attempts from Dallas, the game ended in a draw.
