The MLIS and WMLIS are excited to welcome Mesquite United FC of Mesquite, Texas to the league for the 2026-27 season. ⚽
Mesquite United is operated by Owner and Director Travis Avant III, who has years of experience in the soccer industry as a coach, club director and soccer program organizer.
Since its founding in 2020, the club has continued to grow its youth and adult programs, focusing on creating opportunities for players at all levels. Now, the organization is expanding that vision by joining the MLIS and WMLIS.
“There is also a tremendous amount of soccer talent in Mesquite and throughout the surrounding Dallas-Fort Worth area. Our organization has seen firsthand how many players and families are passionate about the sport,” Avant said. “We believe there is an opportunity to give those players and families something they haven't had locally, a professional soccer team they can call their own.”
Adding Mesquite to the league also creates an opportunity for a healthy regional rivalry with Dallas CD La Cuadra, an existing MLIS team. It also provides a scheduling and travel benefit for MLIS teams traveling to the area.
