Dark Horse NC United returns for its second appearance at TST, continuing a journey that started with two local players who grew up together in North Carolina with a shared love for the game. After becoming fans of TST, they set out with a vision to build a team rooted in local grassroots talent and give homegrown players a platform on one of the biggest stages in small-sided soccer. Proudly representing North Carolina, the squad carries the responsibility of showcasing their state on a global stage. In their first year, they gained invaluable experience navigating the speed and pressure of TST. Now, they return smarter, tougher, and more battle-tested truly embodying what it means to be a dark horse. Expect this group to grind out results, play physical, disciplined soccer, and make life difficult for every opponent as they push toward lifting the trophy this year.
