Houston Dynamo FC history
The Dynamo arrived in an unusual way. The club was established on December 15, 2005, after the owners shifted the San Jose Earthquakes roster and staff to Texas. For six seasons the team played at Robertson Stadium on the University of Houston campus before switching stadiums in 2012.
The start was golden. Houston won the MLS Cup in each of its first two seasons, 2006 and 2007. It returned to the final in 2011 and 2012 but lost both. Two U.S. Open Cups followed, in 2018 and 2023. The Dynamo also finished second in the Supporters' Shield race in 2008 and reached the final of the North American SuperLiga, a tournament that no longer exists, losing to New England. Ted Segal is the majority owner.
