Bernard Kamungo and Hope Avayevu have been North Texas SC’s dynamic duo on the field, combining for 18 goals and 11 assists through 21 games.
Off the field, they’ve become brothers in Frisco, Texas.
Both players are in their second seasons with the club—which serves as the development team for FC Dallas. Avayevu joined North Texas following his eye-catching performances for Becham United in the 2019 edition of the Dallas Cup, the famed international youth tournament. Once he turned 18 and was eligible to play for foreign clubs, Avayevu signed his first pro contract and moved from his native Ghana to Frisco, Texas. The transition wasn’t easy.
“Last year was quite difficult for me because it was my first year in a new environment with new players and coaching style,” the 19-year-old Avayevu said. “You need to adapt to the situation where you find yourself, so it was a little bit tough.”
