Formation

Houston Dynamo FC was established on December 15, 2005, as a professional soccer club based in Houston, Texas. The club was formed after the relocation of the San Jose Earthquakes' players and staff to Houston following the 2005 season. Major League Soccer (MLS) commissioner Don Garber announced the move, highlighting Houston's potential as a vibrant market for soccer. The Dynamo retained the Earthquakes' players and coaches, marking their entry into the league as a 2006 expansion team.

Early Years

For their initial six seasons, the Dynamo played at Robertson Stadium, located on the University of Houston campus. The team quickly made a name for itself, winning back-to-back MLS Cup championships in 2006 and 2007. The club's success was fueled by standout players such as Dwayne De Rosario and Brian Ching, who were instrumental in the team's early achievements. In 2012, the Dynamo moved to Shell Energy Stadium, a soccer-specific venue that further solidified their presence in the Houston sports landscape.

Legacy and Achievements

Over the years, Houston Dynamo FC has produced numerous award-winning players, including multiple MLS Best XI selections and All-Star appearances. Notable players like Brad Davis and DaMarcus Beasley have left a lasting impact on the club's history. The Dynamo's commitment to excellence is reflected in their accolades, including the MLS Goal of the Year and Save of the Year awards.

This is a market that's going to be terrific for us. We will have a team in Houston in due time. The question is whether we have one as early as 2006 as part of a move, or as an expansion team. We'll get a team here, there's no doubt in our mind." On December 15, 2005, Major League Soccer announced all players and coaches under contract to the Earthquakes would move to Houston. The Earthquakes name, colors and competition records were retained by the league for a possible expansion team. The San Jose team would take the field in 2008.
