Dallas Roma F.C. is an American amateur soccer club based in Dallas, Texas, established in 2004. Roma currently plays in the North Texas Premier Soccer Association.
[edit] 2006 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup
The club earned national fame in 2006 when it became the first amateur (not MLS or USL) club to defeat teams from the top two divisions (Major League Soccer and USL First Division) in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup since the MLS era started. Roma beat USL team Miami FC (and former FIFA World Cup winner Romário) 1-0 in the second round. In the third round, Roma tied MLS side Chivas USA (whose lineup included both American and Mexican internationals) 0-0 and won 4-2 on penalties. Roma again traveled to Los Angeles for the fourth round, falling 2-0 to the defending MLS Cup champions, Los Angeles Galaxy.
