Wikipedia - Rio Grande Valley FC Toros
Rio Grande Valley FC, also known as RGVFC or Rio Grande Valley FC Toros, was an American professional soccer team based in Edinburg, Texas operated by Lone Star, LLC. They joined the USL Championship in the 2016 season.
The team served as a hybrid affiliate of the Houston Dynamo of Major League Soccer. Chris Canetti, Houston Dynamo president, called the relationship "an important and necessary step." The hybrid affiliation, a first for the USL, meant that the Dynamo would be responsible for the soccer operation of the club, selecting players and coaching staff. The ownership group, Lone Star, was responsible for operations and day-to-day management of the club.
History
In September 2014, Dynamo officials met with USL officials about creating a USL team and announced their intention to have a USL team in place for the 2016 season.
In March 2015, Bert Garcia announced that the Rio Grande Valley Vipers of the NBA D-league had been awarded a franchise pending concrete plans for a stadium and a name and confirmed a report on MLSSoccer.com that the Houston Dynamo would likely be the MLS affiliate for the USL team in the Rio Grande Valley.
In December 2015, the Houston Dynamo signed Dynamo Academy product Charly Flores as the first player of the Toros.
In December 2020, RGV FC Toros separated from the Houston Dynamo and became an independent soccer club.
On December 18, 2023, RGV FC Toros announced they were ceasing all soccer and business operations, officially ending their eight year stay with USL.
The Toros play their home matches at H-E-B Park, a state-of-the-art facility that offers an intimate and vibrant atmosphere for fans. With a capacity of over 9,700, the stadium is known for its passionate supporters who create an electric environment during games.
The team's colors, red, white, and blue, reflect the rich cultural heritage of the region, and the name "Toros" pays homage to the area's agricultural roots and the spirit of the bull, symbolizing strength and determination. The Toros are committed to developing local players and engaging with the community, making soccer accessible to fans of all ages.
Under the guidance of dedicated coaching staff, Rio Grande Valley FC Toros aims to compete at the highest level, showcasing skillful play and a strong team ethos. The club is not only focused on winning but also on building a lasting legacy in the Rio Grande Valley, inspiring the next generation of soccer players and fans.
