Great turnout for the Facu Torres meet and greet here at the Verde Store 🌳
YETI event tomorrow, VVV Fest on Friday, and match day on Saturday! 💪🏻
In motion.
Facundo Torres, Austin’s newest DP 🌳🇺🇾
We need to discuss how this may be the most perfect PSA ever created.
I do wonder if @bradstuver.com has a future career in drama after his career in public policy which is after his career in soccer which may last for another hundred years.
Before and after 👀🌳
Jake the card guy said Facu Torres has one of the nicest signatures in the game 🔥
🚨AUSTIN FC NEWS🚨
Sporting Director Rodolfo Borrell will address the media on Tuesday, February 17 at 10:00 a.m. CT at St. David’s Performance Center as Austin FC hosts its season kickoff media availability ahead of the 2026 Home Opener. 🌳
We’ll have full coverage. 🎥

🚨 Austin FC II sign defender Neo Che to a 3 year guaranteed deal through the end of the 2028 season.
He joins FCito after developing in 🇩🇪 with FC Ingolstadt 04, where he featured for the club’s U17 & U19 teams, making 16 apps at the U19 level.
Che also spent time in the FC Dallas Academy system.
Minty 🔥
We have a starting XI 👀
Facundo Torres & Myrto Uzuni get the start and feature for the first time this preseason. 👍🏻
Everything points to Facundo Torres making his preseason debut with Austin FC.
Myrto Uzuni should also be available today for the match against Chicago. Let’s see if they get the start.

Jorge Alastuey wasn’t included in the official kit numbers post, but we can clearly see here he is wearing the 24 👀

Chicago Fire 2026 preseason results: • Jan. 20 - Chicago 4, Nashville 1 • Jan. 24 - Chicago 1, Kansas City O • Feb. 8 - Chicago 3, LA Galaxy 2
Austin FC has a preseason friendly vs the Chicago Fire at Coachella at Noon today. Since it won’t be streamed, we’ll have to rely on team and media reports.
Chicago hasn’t had problems scoring this preseason so this should also be a good defensive litmus test.
It’s Matchday… but this one won’t be streamed
Austin FC will share live updates and the full-time result after the final whistle 👍🏻

🚨: Erick Feliciano of the Austin FC academy U-16 squad has been named to the U.S. U16 Boys’ National Team roster for a domestic training camp running February 11th to the 18th in Fayetteville, Georgia 🇺🇸🌳

Please follow up on the new DP rumors.
Let’s see what’s new at Q2 👀
Austin FC announced that two of their preseason matches at the Coachella Valley Invitational will be streamed live on the clubs website.
🆚 St. Louis City SC
📅 Saturday, February 7
⏰ 1:00 PM CT
🆚 Sporting KC
📅 Saturday, February 14
⏰ 12:00 PM CT
No stream for the Chicago match 😟
Well it was a nice dream but @waatvofficial.bsky.social reports with valid sources at the deal with Trabzonspor is off and Myrto Uzuni will remain with Austin FC and occupy a DP spot
#AustinFC #MLS
Sounds like it's already fallen through according to @waatvofficial.bsky.social, who usually have pretty good club sources.
Hopefully it's back on the table in the summer. Much better time for us.
