For the second year in a row, FC Dallas is home to the league’s top Young Player.
Today, Major League Soccer announced FC Dallas forward Jesús Ferreira as the 2022 MLS Young Player of the Year after scoring 18 goals, tying a club record for a single season. Ferreira is the second consecutive Dallas player to win the award after Ricardo Pepi earned the honor in 2021.
Ferreira scored all of his goals from either a free-kick spot or in the run of play. None came from the penalty spot, tied for the most non-penalty kick goals in MLS this season.
