TFC 2 report: Young Reds close out season on winning note
TFC 2 earned a comprehensive 4-1 road win over Crown Legacy FC in their MLS NEXT Pro season finale last weekend.
In a regular series at TFC Republic, we'll look at TFC 2 and how the club is progressing through the 2024 MLS NEXT Pro season.
Why is TFC 2 so important in the grand scheme of things? TFC 2 has proven to be an invaluable part of Toronto FC's developmental system, as it’s usually where the best youth academy products play prior to signing with the senior team.
