In 2018, FC Dallas began a “player development partnership” with Bavarian superclub Bayern Munich. These types of deals are somewhat common in MLS, but this one has made more noise than most: young players from the FC Dallas setup go to train in Munich every offseason, Chris Richards and now Justin Che (more on him below) were loaned to Germany at young ages, FC Dallas youth teams play in Munich-based tournaments. As much as it’s about player movement, however, the partnership allows for the clubs to share best practices in player development, with coaches and administrators traveling back and forth as well.
How does North Texas SC compare to Bayern Munich’s U-23 side?
