Lionel Messi, World Cup matches and growth in interest in soccer and the MLS — things are the moments Dan Hunt has been working for in North Texas.

The outreach goes beyond the fandom and streaming and into the recruitment potential.

Lamar Hunt is widely regarded as a founder and major promoter of American football, soccer and tennis – he’s even named as a hall of famer in each of those sports. The elder Hunt is also responsible for coining the term"Super Bowl" and helped bring the FIFA World Cup to Dallas in 1994."Without the World Cup and without the influence it had on my father, soccer would not be here in North Texas or I think it would be generations behind,” said Hunt.

Hunt shared his thoughts on keeping the momentum going strong. But at the end of the day, Dan Hunt – humble like his father – is in this for the sake of the sport and the teamwork it takes to do it justice.
