The Dynamo and RGV FC formed a hybrid affiliation in July. As part of the partnership, the Dynamo control all technical aspects of the club, including the selection and formation of the coaching staff as well as the construction of the roster. RGV FC, which operates the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, the NBA D-League affiliate of the Houston Rockets, will manage business operations for the club, including the current construction of a 9,400-seat state-of-the-art soccer stadium in Edinburg, Texas, 330 miles southwest of Houston, across the USA-Mexico border from Reynosa.
To date, Dynamo Academy products Christian Lucatero and Juan “Charly” Flores have been announced as members of the inaugural RGVFC roster in 2016. The Dynamo will continue to construct the inaugural RGV FC roster ahead of the club’s first preseason in March 2016.
