“We are disappointed to fall short of our goal of qualifying for the playoffs for a third consecutive season,” said Dynamo President of Soccer Pat Onstad. “As we conclude the 2025 season, we've made the decision to part ways with several players who have contributed to our success in recent years, including winning the 2023 U.S. Open Cup and setting the Club’s point record in 2024. We are grateful for their effort and commitment to our Club and community and wish them the best in the next step of their careers.
