Atlético Dallas doesn’t begin play in the USL Championship until its inaugural season in 2027, starting in March. “Atlético Dallas isn’t asking me to continue someone else’s story. Hernandez was unveiled to the public as an Atlético Dallas player at Gilley’s South Side Ballroom in South Dallas on Friday, less than a 10-minute drive down the road to where Hernandez will play for Dallas at the Cotton Bowl. Dallas Trinity FC, which is under the same ownership group as Atlético Dallas, has called the Cotton Bowl home since the Trinity’s inaugural season in 2023. Although Atlético Dallas doesn’t officially see action until next March, with Hernandez set to headline the roster, the club has made a monumental move with months until kickoff.
