FRISCO, Texas — FC Dallas announced Wednesday it has signed defender Amet Korça to a one-year contract through 2024 with club options for 2025 and 2026.
Korça, an Arlington native, made his FC Dallas MLS debut on June 22, 2023, coming into the match in the 75th minute against Austin FC. Korça made three more appearances for Dallas, starting against D.C. United and the Colorado Rapids.

Korça's signing comes two weeks after the club confirmed signing fellow DFW native and MLS cup winner, Omar Gonzalez. Gonzalez, 35, was born in Dallas and played youth soccer for the Dallas Texans Soccer Club from 2001 to 2006.
