Frisco, TX (December 16, 2020) – Alan (AlanAvi) Avila returns to FC Dallas to represent the club as its official eMLS athlete for the 2021 eMLS season and compete in the EA SPORTS FIFA 21 Global Series. Avila re-signs with FC Dallas after becoming the organization’s first-ever eMLS player in 2018.

The Texas native, who also spent four years playing for FC Dallas’ youth development academy, is an international competitor who finished fourth at the inaugural eMLS Cup in 2018 and advanced to the eChampions League Finals in 2019, both while competing under the FC Dallas banner.
Avila currently serves as a FIFA personality and competitor for Complexity Gaming, where he produces engaging livestreams and creates unique content for FIFA fans. He will continue to represent Complexity while competing on behalf of FC Dallas.
