WE ARE THE FIRE

The Chicago Fire Soccer Club is unwavering in its commitment to the tradition, honor and passion that is the Chicago Fire.  Our Club represents all that is Chicago – authentic, tough, proud and gritty. We are unapologetic in our devotion to our supporters and to the beautiful game.  The Chicago Fire Soccer Club fully embraces and is inspired by the energy, enthusiasm and passion that our supporters bring to each and every match.  Our supporters come from all walks of life and from every corner of the world.  No matter the background, all are welcome to support our club. We are the Chicago Fire. 

Our values include a commitment to the community and to ensuring a safe, enjoyable and entertaining soccer experience for all of our guests.  Most importantly, we are committed each and every day towards the ultimate goal of winning championships.

We recognize that it is our responsibility to be a leader in our community.  It is our desire to not only win on the pitch but also off of it.  It is paramount that we grow the passion for this Club and for the game of soccer throughout our great city.

 “Our expectations are high, and that’s because you, our supporters demand it.  Working together with you, we are committed to a sense of unity and purpose that extends from our fan base to our front office, from the first team all the way down to our youth development program and, of course, to our community work.  Thank you for always reminding the organization of what’s possible and what we are all capable of accomplishing together as a community, that our goal is not to be mediocre; that we shouldn’t ever be satisfied with where we are but rather be excited about where we want to go and do something to get there.  We can all do it together.”

The Chicago Fire Soccer Club Supporters’ Charter was created to highlight its mission and values and ensure that they are respected and successfully carried out by all those associated with the Club, including its supporters, Fire staff, players and stadium personnel.  It establishes a covenant of respect and understanding between the Chicago Fire and its supporters, and a mutual commitment to open and honest communications.

To that end, this Charter was drafted in collaboration with our valued supporters, including Section 8 Chicago, the Independent Supporter s’ Association (ISA) for the Chicago Fire Soccer Club. For the purposes of this Charter, supporters are defined as all of those who are fans of the Chicago Fire Soccer Club.  Whether a supporter of the Club since its inception in 1997 or a more recent supporter of the club, all who attend, watch, listen to matches or follow the club in any form is recognized as a supporter of the Chicago Fire Soccer Club.
