Dan Hunt
Dan Hunt has served as the President of FC Dallas since 2014. He serves as a member of MLS’ Board of Governors and the league’s Business Ventures committee.

He also served as the chairman of Dallas’ successful bid committee to secure nine matches for the FIFA World Cup 2026™, the most matches among all 16 host cities.

Hunt spent years working on the design and construction of Toyota Stadium and Toyota Soccer Center with his late father and American sports icon, Lamar Hunt. Since the venue’s opening in 2005, Hunt has used the facility to help establish FC Dallas as the leader in youth development in North America. Toyota Soccer Complex, a 145-acre facility complete with 17 professionalgrade soccer fields, has quickly become one the most rewarding stadium designs in professional sports.

Hunt also oversaw the successful negotiation with the City of Frisco on a $182 million publicprivate renovation of Toyota Stadium that is slated to begin in Q1 of 2025. He oversaw the $58 million construction of the National Soccer Hall of Fame in the south end of Toyota Stadium which opened in 2018. The project included more than 70-thousand square feet of renovated space, new locker rooms, premium seats, a private club and the National Soccer Hall of Fame Experience.

In May 2017, Hunt, along with his brother Clark, ESPN and the City of Frisco officially announced that the newly-relocated Scooter’s Coffee Frisco Bowl (previously known as Miami Beach Bowl) would call Toyota Stadium home starting on December 20, 2017 at Toyota Stadium. Louisiana Tech became the first Frisco Bowl Champions after beating SMU 51-10.

Outside of his responsibilities with FC Dallas, Hunt is involved in the Hunt family’s long-standing interest in the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs. During the 2010 season, Hunt assisted in the renovation of Arrowhead Stadium.

Hunt is a Dallas native and graduated from the St. Mark’s School of Texas and Southern Methodist University.
