When David Ferreira came to the United States with his family in 2009 after signing with the major league soccer franchise FC Dallas , he also enrolled his then eight-year-old son at FC Dallas. There he went through all the junior league classes and was used, among other things, in the 2015/16 season for the U-16 academy team of the franchise.
