Richland Campus hosted the Dallas Cup soccer tournament again this year. The event, which is held during Easter week, was founded by the Texas Longhorns Soccer Club in 1980. The club launched the tournament because they wanted to return the fellowship that European teams showed to their teams that had traveled throughout that part of the world, according to dallascup.org. The invitation-only event lasted nine days, with several games played every day at various locations. Richland hosted the games five of those nine days.
