FRISCO, Texas (Dec. 15, 2025) — FC Dallas added to its youth movement Monday, acquiring midfielder Ran Binyamin from Hapoel Tel Aviv F.C. on a U22 Initiative contract through the 2028-29 MLS season, with club options beyond.
The 21-year-old made 85 appearances over three seasons with Hapoel Tel Aviv and broke out in 2024-25 with seven goals and seven assists in 34 matches, helping the club win the Liga Leumit title and earn promotion.
A Beerseva native, Binyamin developed through several top Israeli academies and has been a regular at the international level. He featured in Israel’s historic third-place finish at the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup and has scored three goals with the U-21 national team in European Championship qualifying.
Binyamin will occupy an international roster spot for FC Dallas, pending visa and transfer clearance, as the club continues to invest in young, high-upside talent.
