DALLAS, TX / BERWYN, PA (November 10, 2025) – Atlético Dallas, North Texas’ newest professional soccer club, today announced a comprehensive partnership with Playfly Sports, the sports industry’s leading revenue maximization company.

Playfly employees will be embedded as part of the team based in Dallas, providing Atlético Dallas leadership with in-depth market analysis, pricing strategies, packaging recommendations, and long-term ticketing revenue forecasts.
