History

Legends FC was founded in 1992 by Kanish Ali, an immigrant from Afghanistan, and several friends who played together at the high school, college and club levels.[1]

The team plays in the North Texas Premier Soccer Association, a successful league which is a member of the United States Adult Soccer Association Region III group of leagues. The Legends won the USASA U-23 Cup in 2009, in addition to numerous other local and regional trophies.

The Legends have a long and successful history in competing in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. They first qualified for the tournament in 2004, but lost 3-1 to state rivals DFW Tornados in the first round, despite fielding a team that included future MLS players such as Ugo Ihemelu.[2]

They qualified again in 2006 (playing as the Dallas Mustang Legends), but lost again in the first round, this time to USL Premier Development League side Des Moines Menace. After narrowly missing out in qualification in 2008 and 2009 they returned to the competition again in 2010, but lost in the first round for a third time, 3-0 to USSF Division 2 Professional League side FC Tampa Bay.[3]
