This is the eighth edition of the tournament to feature the Dynamo and Houston return to the regional competition for the first time since the 2019 edition. This is the first time the Dynamo will face an MLS opponent in the tournament and only the third meeting between the two teams.

Houston looks to build on a memorable 2023 campaign that saw the team lift the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. The victory over Inter Miami CF also secured a berth in the Concacaf Champions Cup. The Dynamo closed the year with a trip to the Western Conference Final and that was their first postseason appearance since the 2017 campaign.

This is the first competitive match of the year for Houston and the team closed the preseason with a trip to Central Florida to face Orlando City SC in a closed-door friendly. The preseason also included a 10-day trip to Guadalajara, Mexico to face Club Deportivo Guadalajara, Leones Negros and Tecos FC.

The trip to Mexico featured goals from familiar faces like forward Sebas Ferreira, who tallied four goals in four games. The forward enters his third season with the team. The 25-year-old finished the 2023 season on loan in Brazil and looks to replicate his form from 2022 that saw Ferreira tally 13 goals in the regular season.

The trip also saw goals from players in different stages of the club pathway with contributions from Dynamo Academy forward Zeke Soto, Dynamo 2 midfielder Diego Gonzalez and Homegrown defender Kieran Sargeant. The trip featured seven Dynamo 2 players and two Dynamo Academy members.

The Dynamo return to Houston following Tuesday’s match to prepare for the regular season home opener against Sporting Kansas City this Saturday, Feb. 24 at Shell Energy Stadium. Tickets for the match are available HERE.
