ABOUT CHICAGO FIRE FC
Chicago Fire Football Club is one of Major League Soccer’s oldest clubs, founded in 1997 as the league’s first expansion team. The club debuted in 1998 with a historic inaugural season, capturing both the MLS Cup and U.S. Open Cup, setting the tone for a tradition of ambition and resilience.
More than a team, Chicago Fire FC reflects the grit, determination, and diversity of its city. The Fire represent every neighborhood, every community, and every voice in the city. On and off the pitch, the Fire brings people together through the world’s game, creating moments that spark pride, joy, and connection across Chicago and beyond.
Legends have worn the crest, from global icons like Cuauhtémoc Blanco and Bastian Schweinsteiger to U.S. greats DaMarcus Beasley and Brian McBride. Today’s roster carries that legacy forward, blending local roots with international flair.
