The Carolina Dynamo, one of the oldest and most storied USL franchises will rebrand as the North Carolina Fusion U-23’s for their 27th season in 2019.
“This is a very exciting time and a brand-new era for the Dynamo now the NC Fusion U-23’s, says Dynamo GM, Scott Zapko. Competing as the NC Fusion U-23’s gives us a direct and very real connection to one of the most established youth clubs in the country and some 6,000 families. Aligning ourselves as part of NC Fusion will also provide additional resources such as increased staff and access to top notch coaches, players and facilities. Look for exciting news to come in the future,” Zapko goes onto add.
