FCD Juniors U-16 Headed to Finals Week

From June 26-29, 64 teams (32 U-16 / 32 U-18) battled it out in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy playoffs with a trip to the national finals at stake. After posting a perfect 3-0 record in the playoffs, the FC Dallas Juniors U-16 squad will be one of only 16 teams (8 in each age group) to head to Carson, CA for Finals Week from July 10-17. 

The U-16s today defeated South Charlotte 4-1 with scoring from Ruben Luna (2), Bryan Leyva and Daniel Garcia, to punch their ticket to California. In the finals, each age group will be split into two brackets of four, with the winners of each bracket facing off in the championship game. Read more about Finals Week here.

The U-18s closed out their playoff run this morning with a 2-2 draw with Derby County Wolves. Dallas goals were scored by Bradlee Baladez and Jose Perez. While the U-18s did not make the finals, we'd like to congratulate the boys on a great first season in the national academy league!
