Thank you to everyone who came out last night for the opening reception of 1967: The Year Soccer Came to Texas, presented by UNT Special Collections. It was the perfect way to kick off the next month of World Cup games! ⚽️

The Dallas Tornado Soccer Club was the first professional soccer team in Texas. It was founded by two wealthy sports fanatics in 1967, coached by a Yugoslavian immigrant, and employed only one American player. Team members were recruited and trained at the beginning of a whirlwind tour, which took them through 20 different countries over seven months, and consisted of 45 matches against some of the best and worst soccer teams in the world.

This exhibit will be on view from June 5-27, and features original artifacts, photos, and ephemera from the archive of The Dallas Tornado’s first coach, Bob Kap, including team pennants from soccer clubs around the world.
