Houston Dynamo Rivalries
The Houston Dynamo have a rich history in the MLS, despite the extended championship drought, and they’ve built up no small number of rivalries in that time. Here are two of their most prominent rivalries:
Houston Dynamo FC vs. FC Dallas
This rivalry is known as the Texas Derby and has been one of the most intense in MLS since Houston Dynamo’s inception. The two teams compete for the El Capitán, a Civil War-era cannon, awarded to the team with the best record in their matchups each season.
Houston will not face FC Dallas again this season.
Houston Dynamo FC vs. Sporting Kansas City
Houston and Kansas City have developed a fierce rivalry, especially during their frequent playoff encounters. Matches between these teams are often tight, physical, and highly competitive.
The Dynamo will not face Sporting Kansas City again this season, either.
