Join us for the opening reception of 1967: When Soccer Came to Texas on Friday, June 5 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., presented by UNT Special Collections.⚽️

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 feature 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. This exhibition will run from June 5 - 27.🏟️

The opening reception takes place during the Downtown Denton Foundation’s First Friday! The first friday of every month promotes a range of art and cultural events happening throughout Downtown Denton.
