First played in 1914, it’s now in its 109th edition.<br/><br/>This year, FC Dallas is one of just eight Major League Soccer teams to be in the tournament, and is one of the most successful MLS teams in its history.<br/><br/>FCD had won the tournament twice, once back in 1997 and more recently in 2016, and finished as runners-up in 2005 and 2007.<br/><br/>Before losing in the opening round match last season, Dallas had won eight-straight dating back to 2013.<br/><br/>And now, a new streak begins.<br/><br/>In just a few days time, FC Dallas will be back in Toyota Stadium for another Copa Tejas matchup with Austin FC, who FCD lost 2-1 to at Q2 Stadium back in March.
