FRISCO, Texas (Wednesday, Oct. 23) - FC Dallas Management LLC, an affiliate of Major League Soccer's FC Dallas, will operate the city of Dallas' new Soccer Park at Elm Fork, effective Jan. 1, 2014, the city announced today.

"We are excited to partner with FCD Management to provide soccer enthusiasts and spectators a new place to enjoy world-class play and competition in Dallas," said Willis Winters, head of the city's Park and Recreation Department. " Their proven expertise and success will make this new complex a world-class tournament facility that all Dallas citizens will be proud of."

The company will be the exclusive operator for scheduling, maintenance and sponsorships at the park, which is home to 14 full-size natural grass fields and five junior fields. The 120-acre park is located west of I-35 E near Walnut Hill Lane.
