ANDREW HAUPTMAN
OWNER, CHICAGO FIRE SOCCER CLUB
CHICAGO FIRE SOCCER CLUB
chicago-fire.com
Andrew Hauptman became the second owner of the Chicago Fire Soccer Club
after receiving approval from Major League Soccer in September 2007. Under
his stewardship, the Fire has been a championship contender, making the MLS
playoffs in 2007, 2008 and 2009 and was a major contender in SuperLiga 2009.
Last year, the club hired Carlos de los Cobos as Head Coach with the intent of
playing a more offensive-minded game. Disappointed with season results, the
club went through an extensive review process during the off season with an
eye toward rebuilding a winning team for the 2011 season.
Throughout his ownership tenure, Mr. Hauptman has worked to ensure the Fire is a world class organization on- and offthe
pitch and has invested the resources to do so. He is focused on the growth of MLS domestically and abroad and the Fire
organization in particular, invoking his philosophy of optimism, confidence and energy. He has high expectations for the club
and is passionate about winning, preserving Fire tradition, and embracing the Chicago community. To grow the Fire brand
and the club’s revenues, Mr. Hauptman has improved the club’s infrastructure and operations, and recruited top management
and soccer talent. He played a key role in appointing former Fire star Frank Klopas as Fire Technical Director and bringing
U.S. soccer star Brian McBride back to Chicago in 2008. His pioneering spirit is also evident in the significant investment and
groundbreaking expansion of the youth development program.
The Fire is rebooting the club’s first team this season by reconfiguring the coaching staff, technical team and processes. New
hires include Mike Jeffries as Director of Player Personnel, Leo Percovich as assistant coach, and Tony Jouaux as the club’s
physical trainer. During the off-season, the technical staff traveled to more countries than all other seasons combined, visiting
four continents to scout talent and build relationships.
Mr. Hauptman has also worked to invigorate the Fire’s community efforts and recently formed the Chicago Fire Soccer Club
Advisory Council to ensure the club is working closely and effectively with area businesses and non-profit organizations.
The Chicago Fire Foundation has remained true to its mission of enriching the lives of the community’s under-served youth.
The Foundation has to-date provided over $1.4 million in grants, contributions and in-kind support. In 2010, the “Kicks for
Kids” program enabled over 8,000 children from nearly 70 local charitable organizations to attend a Chicago Fire game. In
recognition of the club’s overall community and charitable efforts, the Fire received the 2010 MLS W.O.R.K.S. Community
Relations annual award.
Mr. Hauptman is the Chairman of Andell Holdings, a private investment firm and family office which he controls along with
his wife Ellen Bronfman Hauptman. Founded in 1998, Andell’s current activities are divided between direct investments in
public and private companies and partnerships with top-tier investment managers around the globe. Mr. Hauptman oversees
the firm’s investment, operating and sports and entertainment businesses. Mr. Hauptman serves on Major League Soccer’s
Board of Governors, as well as the Competition and Media Committees. He serves on the board of directors of Sports Supply
Group, the largest manufacturer, marketer and distributor of sporting goods products directly to the institutional and team
sports marketplace, and serves as Chairman of Storage Mobility, the nation’s largest franchisee of Portable On Demand Storage
(PODS).
Mr. Hauptman has produced feature films through his production company, Andell Entertainment. His past films have included
State of Play, starring Russell Crowe, Millions, directed by Danny Boyle and the Sundance feature, Safe Men.
He is Chairman and Co-Founder of City Year Los Angeles, a national program that engages 17- to 24-year-olds for a year of
full-time service in an effort to combat the drop out epidemic, and serves as a Trustee of City Year’s National Board. His many
philanthropic and civic activities include oversight of the Hauptman Family Foundation; service on the Board of Trustees of The
Charles Bronfman Prize and on the Advisory Board of Grassroot Soccer.
Mr. Hauptman holds a BA in History from Yale University and an MBA from Harvard University.
He lives with his wife Ellen and their two children in Los Angeles.

FRANK KLOPAS
TECHNICAL DIRECTOR
Frank Klopas returns to the Chicago Fire Soccer Club for his fourth season
as the club’s fi rst Technical Director, overseeing roster development and
scouting for the Chicago Fire fi rst team. Klopas, a Chicago soccer legend, will
build off his wealth of experience as a player in leagues both domestic and
abroad and his coaching background to help direct the Chicago Fire toward
the MLS Cup Playoffs.
Born September 1, 1966 in Prosimna, Greece, Klopas came to Chicago as a
young boy and began his professional playing career when he signed with the
Chicago Sting in 1984 at the age of 18. As a member of the Sting from 1984
until 1988, Klopas tallied 68 goals and 42 assists in 140 games and witnessed
the Chicago club take home the 1984 NASL championship. His play with the Sting earned him a spot with the U. S.
National Team from 1987 through 1996, recording 13 goals in 45 appearances over his nine years with the team.
After strong performances for the U.S. Men’s National Team in the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea, Klopas
joined AEK Athens of Greece. He played for AEK four seasons, helping the team make two appearances in the European
Cup and the UEFA Cup.
Klopas’ play in Greece convinced head coach Bora Milutinovic to select him for the U.S.1994 World Cup team. In
late1994, Klopas joined Apollon in Athens on loan for a half-season before returning to the U.S. in June of 1995 with the
intent on joining Major League Soccer for its inaugural season. Klopas was allocated by MLS to the Kansas City Wizards
in 1996, where he played two seasons before being traded to the Fire in 1998.
A member of the original Fire squad, Klopas helped the club capture the American double -- winning the MLS Cup and
U.S Open Cup in 1998. Klopas instantly went into the record books by notching the Fire’s fi rst two-goal effort in the
team’s fi rst game at Soldier Field on April 4, 1998. Klopas was infl uential in helping the Fire take home the 1998 Open
Cup title by scoring the 99th-minute golden goal game-winner.
On January 25, 2000, Klopas announced his retirement from playing professional soccer. Following his retirement he
joined the Fire staff as assistant coach for the 2000 season. In 2004, Klopas was named Head Coach and general
Manager of the MISL Chicago Storm, leading them to their fi rst playoff appearance in 2005. Klopas is also founder and
a coach for the F.C. Drive youth soccer club in Chicago.
In June 2004, Klopas was inducted into the Chicago Fire “Ring of Fire” Hall of Fame as well as the Illinois Soccer Hall of
Fame in 2005. Klopas, 43, holds a United States Soccer Federation “A” license and lives in Chicago with his wife, Sophia.

Mike Jeffries returns to the Fire after spending 2010 scouting for U.S.
Soccer ahead of, and during, the 2010 FIFA World Cup. A long-time player
and coach with experience in all levels of soccer, Jeffries will help guide the
club’s personnel decisions while assisting Technical Director Frank Klopas with
scouting and player recruitment.
Jeffries fi rst joined the Fire in the club’s inaugural year of 1998 as an assistant
coach for Bob Bradley. The Bethesda, MD product helped coach the Fire to the
“American Double” in 1998 and served three seasons on Bradley’s staff before
accepting the head coaching position for the Dallas Burn (now FC Dallas).
In his three seasons as head coach of the Burn, Jeffries led Dallas to a record of 28-39-17 with playoff appearances in
2001 and 2002. Jeffries returned to the Men in Red as an Assistant Coach in 2008 under then Head Coach Denis Hamlett
and helped lead the club to back-to-back Eastern Conference Finals.
Jeffries began his soccer career at Duke as a player from 1980-83, earning the prestigious Hermann Award in 1983. He
played for the NASL Minnesota Strikers in 1984 before becoming the fi rst American player selected in the MISL draft by
the Minnesota Strikers. He played for the Strikers from 1984-88, and the Dallas Sidekicks in 1988. Jeffries was a member
of the U.S. Men’s National team in 1984-1985 earning three career appearances.

CARLOS DE LOS COBOS
HEAD COACH
Carlos de los Cobos was named Chicago Fire’s head coach on January, 11, 2010,
bringing with him more than 30 years of international soccer experience as
a coach and a professional player throughout Mexico and Central America.
He has played on and coached in some of the World’s largest competitions,
including the World Cup and Olympic Games.
Prior to joining the Chicago Fire, de los Cobos spent four years as head coach of
the El Salvador national team, where he helped them reach the fi nal round of
2010 CONCACAF World Cup qualifying for the fi rst time in 12 years. He’s been
credited with changing the international perception of El Salvador as it relates
to football, along with reviving a national sentiment of pride within the country.
De los Cobos’ coaching experiences also span Salvadoran powerhouse club CD FAS (2005-2006) and several of Mexico’s
top clubs, including: Querétaro FC in two stints (1993-1994 and 2004), Club Pachuca (1994), UANL Tigres (1994-1995),
Club América (1996), CF Celaya (2001), Deportivo Irapuato (2003), and Lobos de UAP (2005).
In addition, he served as the head coach of the Mexican Olympic team (Atlanta 1996), the U-21 Mexican national team
(Central American and Caribbean games - Maracaibo in 1998) winning a silver medal, and the U-23 Mexican national
team (Central American and Caribbean games - San Salvador in 2002), earning another silver medal. He also shadowed
Bora Milutinovic as the assistant coach of the Mexican national team to win the CONCACAF’s 1996 Gold Cup, and
served as Manuel Lapuente’s right hand in winning the 1998 CONCACAF Gold Cup and participating in the 1998 World
Cup in France.
A hardworking defender, de los Cobos began his playing career with Querétaro FC (1977-1978) before moving to giant
Club América. During his 10-year stint with the Águilas (1979-1989), he anchored the defense to help lead the team to
fi ve league titles (‘83/’84, ‘84/’85, ‘85 Prode - shortened league, ‘87/’88, and ‘88/’89) in what’s called the club’s “Golden
Age”.
With his performance at América, de los Cobos eventually received his call-up to represent the Mexican national team
(1983-1986), where he accumulated 25 caps, appearing in the 1986 World Cup. He played an integral role in the team
as it reached the quarter fi nal stage (the farthest that Mexico has ever advanced in the country’s history along with
1970) before being defeated by then West Germany in a penalty shootout, 4-1.
From 1989 to 1994, de los Cobos would spend time with two different clubs before retiring. He spent two stints with
C.F. Monterrey (1989-1991 and 1992-1993) leading the team to a second-place fi nish during his second stay and two
stints with Querétaro FC (1991-1992 and 1993-1994), where he ended his 17-year playing career.
Born on December 10, 1958 in Matamoros, Tamaulipas (Mexico), de los Cobos, along with colleague Martin Vasquez,
will be the fi rst Mexican full-time head coaches in MLS history. He and his wife, Mayte, have two children, Rafael and
Paulina.

PLAYER DEVELOPMENT
Since the launch of the Chicago Fire on October 8, 1997, the franchise has worked diligently to establish itself as the
fi rst professional soccer club in the United States to adopt a true “pyramid” of player development that gives young
local talent the opportunity to advance from junior-level competitive training through to the fi rst team. A renewed
commitment from Fire owner Andrew Hauptman and head coach Carlos de los Cobos signal great things for the future
growth of the fully-integrated Chicago Fire player development structure.
The Chicago Fire Premier (ZONE 3-Elite Level) PDL, Super-20, U19 and NPSL programs were added with teams competing
in the United Soccer Leagues, National Premier Soccer League and IYSA competitions.
In 2007, the Chicago Fire announced the creation of the Chicago Fire Academy (ZONE 2-Growth Level) as an initiative
for the advancement of professional development for U14, U16 and U18 boys within the Chicago market.
In 2003 the Chicago Fire Juniors (ZONE 1-Base Level) program was formed to train youth soccer players in a professionally
run environment and has since expanded to included branches in Michigan, Mississippi, Indiana, Louisiana and Florida.
Completing the pyramid of player development, Chicago Fire Camps and Training, operated by Youth Elite Soccer (YES),
form the entry level to Fire Player Development and programs include Summer Camps, Seasonal Training Programs and
Regional Development Schools (RDS). The Chicago Fire is the only MLS club with a fully-integrated player development
pyramid, from the recreation youth level all the way up to the fi rst team MLS side.

CHICAGO FIRE SOCCER CLUB
chicago-fire.com
In July of 2007, the Chicago Fire announced the introduction of the Chicago Fire Academy (CFA) as its fl agship Player
Development program. The Academy was created to allow the Fire to develop local Chicagoland talent into potential
MLS players. The Fire Academy technical staff scout the surrounding area each year to identify the most talented
players ranging in age from 14 to 18. The pool of 65 players is assigned to a U-14, U-16 or U-18 team.
The Academy emphasizes the development of these players through professional-level training. Academy technical
staff maintains an exclusive focus on the talented players that have aspirations to play at the highest level. The players
are groomed in a professional manner receiving the same treatment and amenities as the fi rst team. The CFA players
have access to all of the facilities at TOYOTA PARK, an environment conducive to their growth and improvement.
Players are able to use the same weight room, training room, practice fi elds, and locker room as the fi rst team. Their
training includes strength and conditioning, nutritional management, mental preparation, match and video analysis,
and more. The players train year-round, usually 4-5 days per week, and play against other high-level talent from across
the country.
2010 was a benchmark year for the program with the CFA becoming the fi rst MLS academy to travel and train, infull,
with a MLS club during a preseason tour. By integrating its U-16 and U-18 clubs into MLS preseason, the Fire
took the fi rst real steps towards an all-encompassing program that incorporates the youth development game with
the professional game. The year also saw the CFA become the fi rst MLS Academy to be crowned National Champions
when the U16 Academy team beat Cal Odyssey in Los Angeles to clinch the United States Development Academy U16
National title. To fi nalize a phenomenal 2010 season, Victor Pineda, a 17-year-old Bolingbrook native became the fi rst
Home Grown player in club history to be sighed to a professional MLS contract. Also, he was the fi rst player to benefi t
from the club’s Pyramid of Player Development as Victor progressed from the Chicago Fire Juniors to the Academy and
fi nally to the MLS roster.
Players in the Fire Academy participate in a training program that makes each individual eligible for the Major League
Soccer Home Grown Talent Initiative. The Home Grown Talent Initiative is designed to allow teams to sign local
players to MLS contracts without entering the MLS SuperDraft, strengthening the relationship between the Fire and
the community. The Chicago Fire Academy allows players to participate at no cost to the player and the Academy
does not jeopardize a player’s NCAA eligibility. As members of the Academy, players are still allowed to compete for
their respective high school programs, but not other club teams, as the player focuses on the Academy after their
educational obligations. The Academy recruits players solely on their playing ability and potential and their desire to
play professionally, regardless of their socio-economic background.
CFA ‘MISSION STATEMENT’
FIRE ACADEMY OVERVIEW (ZONE 2 GROWTH LEVEL)
To cultivate professional soccer players.
CFA ‘Vision’: To identify promising young soccer players, introduce them into a professional soccer environment with
the purpose to advance the most talented of the fi eld to the professional ranks of the Chicago Fire Soccer Club.
CFA ‘Style of Play’: The Chicago Fire brand of soccer is built upon the principles of play, it emphasizes a passing based
creative attacking game balanced with aggressive adaptable defending, integrated by explosive, intelligent transition.

CHICAGO FIRE PDL
The Chicago Fire PDL side has been one of the most successful franchises in the United Soccer Leagues Premier
Development League since joining the league in 2001 as the Chicago Fire Reserves. Over nine years of play, the team

regularly participates in the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) Mid West Division. Although other NPSL teams
generally include former and current University and College, foreign, amateur, ex-professional and youth players, the

2010 IN REVIEW
After falling just short of the 2009 MLS Cup Final, the Chicago Fire Soccer Club entered a new era in 2010 following
the hiring of Mexican head coach Carlos de los Cobos in early January. Coming off two consecutive appearances in the
MLS Eastern Conference Finals, the club saw its fortunes reversed during the course of 2010 as injuries decimated the
24-man roster for much of the season, with the end result seeing the Fire miss out on the MLS Cup Playoffs for just the
second time in the club’s 13-year history.
A regular season of ups and downs saw the club start the campaign winless through its fi rst three matches, including a
2-1 Opening Night home loss to San Jose on April 10. The “Men in Red” rebounded exactly a week later, earning the fi rst
win of the season in a 2-0 victory at DC United, eventually climbing back to an even 2-2-2 record by May 1.
Ironically, there was much to take out of a drab 4-1 loss at Toronto on May 8 as C.J. Brown, the last remaining “Fire
Original” recorded his 350th appearance across all competitions for the Fire – third most all-time among MLS players
with one team. Veteran midfi elder Logan Pause also tallied just the second goal of his career, hitting a 30-plus yard
bomb that was eventually voted by Fire fans as the club’s Goal of the Year.
Following the trip north of the border, the club welcomed four world renowned international clubs to TOYOTA PARK to
end the month of May. The Fire fi rst welcomed Paris Saint-Germain, Red Star Belgrade and Legia Warsaw as part of the
inaugural Chicago Sister Cities International Cup. The Fire fell 1-0 to PSG on May 19 before dropping a 3-0 result to
Legia three days later. Just a week after, the “Men in Red” welcomed Italian giants A.C. Milan to TOYOTA PARK, dropping
a 1-0 result to the Rosoneri in front of a sell-out crowd on May 30.
Returning to the MLS schedule, the Fire went undefeated in June, riding the goal scoring wave of Guatemalan
international midfi elder Marco Pappa. The third-year midfi elder tallied the winner in a 2-1 win over the Philadelphia
Union on June 5 before bagging both goals in the 2-2 draw with the Colorado Rapids on June 9 at TOYOTA PARK. With
the league taking an 18-day break during the FIFA World Cup, the Fire returned to their league calendar with a visit
to New England on June 27, with Pappa striking the game’s only goal, his fourth of fi ve Fire goals during the month.
Though a long World Cup break gave players a needed rest, a two-day turnaround was diffi cult for the side as they
hosted USL-2’s Charleston Battery in the third round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Only able to dress 16 players,
the Fire had a number of chances but played 120 minutes of scoreless soccer before eventually falling to the historic
South Carolina-based side 3-0 on penalty kicks.
As June turned to July, the Fire dropped two narrow league results, fi rst a 2-1 decision in Columbus on July 3 before
dominating but coming up empty in a 1-0 loss to defending MLS Cup champions Real Salt Lake at TOYOTA PARK. Sitting
with a disappointing 4-5-5 record, the club began looking for reinforcements as the team shifted attention to the club’s
second-straight SuperLiga campaign.
The tournament didn’t start off well for the Fire as they fell 5-1 to Monarcas Morelia on July 14, with the lone bright
spot being rookie defender Steven Kinney’s fi rst career professional goal in the 48th minute. The Fire followed up that
performance with a 1-0 loss to the New England Revolution three days later. After the game, the Fire introduced
Mexican international Nery Castillo as the second Designated Player in club history. Already eliminated, from the
tournament, the Fire took on Pumas UNAM in the fi nal group game, earning a 1-0 victory via a headed effort from
defender Wilman Conde in the 35th minute.
Marco Pappa was selected as a starter for the fi rst time in the 2010 MLS All-Star game vs. Manchester United on July
28 at Reliant Stadium in Houston, while Conde earned his second straight selection. The MLS All-Stars dropped a 5-2
result to the Red Devils.
Just before returning to the league schedule, the club acquired Swedish midfi elder Freddie Ljungberg from Seattle on
July 30, with the former Arsenal winger joining the club in Los Angeles the next day ahead of the clash with the tabletopping
LA Galaxy on August 1. At 21, Sean Johnson became the youngest player in club history to stand in net as he
made his fi rst MLS start in the match. Behind goals from Pappa, Collins John and Mike Banner, the Fire ran out to a 3-0
lead inside the fi rst 19 minutes. Meanwhile, Ljungberg entered the match as a 58th minute sub while Johnson stood
tall between the sticks, only surrendering two penalty kicks from Landon Donovan, making four saves in the 3-2 win.

CHICAGO FIRE SOCCER CLUB
chicago-fire.com
MLS history was made a week later when the New York Red Bulls came to TOYOTA PARK with their three Designated
Players: Juan Pablo Angel and the recently signed Thierry Henry and Rafael Marquez. All three started along with the
Fire’s Ljungberg and as Castillo made his club debut in the 56th minute, the night marked the fi rst time fi ve Designated
Players graced the fi eld during an MLS game. Though the stars made their presence known, it was again the young Fire
goalkeeper who stole the show, making eight saves and earning his fi rst MLS clean sheet in a 0-0 draw with Red Bull
on August 8.
Nearly a month after falling 1-0 to New England in SuperLiga, the Fire welcomed the Revolution back to Toyota Park to
close out the sides’ season series. Falling behind early to a Marko Perovic strike, Fire midfi elder Baggio Husidic equalized
before the half. Returning from a six-month injury layoff, veteran striker Calen Carr scored the winner in the 85th
minute to keep the side unbeaten in August.
While things looked up, the fate of the season likely came as the club dropped points late in the next three consecutive
matches, falling 4-3 to Houston on August 21, 2-1 to Seattle on August 28 and conceding a stoppage time goal in a
1-1 draw with LA on September 4 at TOYOTA PARK. The day before the match with LA, veteran striker and U.S. Soccer
legend Brian McBride announced his intention to retire at the end of the club’s 2010 season.
Three losses and a draw in the middle of September put the Fire’s playoff hopes on the brink before a 3-0 win at San
Jose rescued them if only for a few days after dropping the reverse score line at Dallas on October 2.
Though not mathematically eliminated, the Fire returned to TOYOTA PARK to celebrate the club’s 13th anniversary on
October 8. The “Men in Red” gave the fans their birthday wish when they downed regional rival Columbus Crew 2-0 that
night as midfi elder Peter Lowry scored the club’s 600th regular season goal. The next day, San Jose offi cially eliminated
the Fire from playoff contention with a 2-0 win over DC United.
The Fire would go 1-1-1 in the remaining regular season matches, paying tribute to outgoing striker Brian McBride in
his fi nal home match at TOYOTA Park, a 0-0 draw with D.C. on October 16.
On October 22, a day before the fi nal regular season match at Chivas USA, veteran defender CJ Brown announced
that the match would be his last, bringing to end his 13 years of dedicated service to the club, in which the 1998
Supplemental Draft pick went on to play in 32,519 minutes across 371 matches.
In dedication to both Brown and McBride, the Fire closed out the 2010 campaign with one of the side’s best performances,
downing Chivas USA 4-1 at The Home Depot Center in Carson, CA. McBride got the scoring started with a beautiful back
heel in the 40th minute, tallying his 80th MLS goal and the fi nal one of his career.
Postseason honors were awarded the next month as veteran midfi elder Logan Pause was named Team MVP, while
retiring defender C.J. Brown took his second Defender of the Year honors as well as Section 8’s Player of the Year
award. With seven goals on the campaign Marco Pappa took the Budweiser Golden Boot and later won the 2010 MLS
Goal of the Year for his strike against San Jose on April 10. Long-time Fire defender Dasan Robinson earned the 2010
Humanitarian of the Year award for his charitable work with Urban Initiatives.

LAMAR HUNT U.S. OPEN CUP
Since its founding in 1998, the stated mission of the Chicago Fire on the
fi eld has been to capture two trophies every year – the MLS Cup and
the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. This year is no different, and the Fire
enter 2010 as the undisputed kings of the modern era of the tournament,
having hoisted the coveted Dewar Trophy four times – 1998, 2000, 2003
& 2006 – in just thirteen years of play.
The U.S. Open Cup, which is recognized as U.S. Soccer’s National
Championship, is an annual competition open to all amateur and
professional soccer teams affi liated with U.S. Soccer. The tournament has
crowned a champion for 95 consecutive years dating back to 1914.
The Fire have taken pride in competing in the U.S. Open Cup, and its
results refl ect that mindset. Since 1998, the “Men in Red” have racked
up an impressive 25-8-2 record in the Open Cup, which has helped the
squad reach the semifi nal round on seven out of twelve occasions and
the tournament’s fi nal fi ve times. The 2006 title marked the ninth time
a team from Chicago won the Open Cup and made the Fire one of fi ve
teams to capture the crown at least four times in the tournament’s nearly
century-long history.
148
Within the U.S. Open Cup framework, teams compete in one of the
following four categories: professional outdoor Division I (Major League
Soccer), Division II (USSF Division 2) or Division III (USL Second Division);
or Amateur Division (USL Premier Development League & U.S. Adult
Soccer Association).
The U.S. Open Cup is a single-elimination tournament, with games tied
after regulation being decided in two 15-minute overtime halves. If
neither team scores during the overtime period, the winner is decided
on penalty kicks. The team that advances the furthest from each level
except Division I earns a $10,000 cash prize. The runner-up takes home
$50,000, while the champion collects $100,000. The winner also will have
the team’s name engraved on the historic Dewar Challenge Trophy, the
oldest trophy in American team sports.

MLS ROSTER COMPOSITION
CHICAGO FIRE SOCCER CLUB
chicago-fire.com
A Major League Soccer club’s fi rst team roster is comprised of up to 30 players. All 30 players are eligible for selection to each 18-player
game-day squad during the regular season and playoffs.
SALARY & BUDGET:
Players occupying roster spots 1-20 count against the club’s 2011 salary budget of $2,675,000, and are referred to collectively as the
club’s Salary Budget Players.
• Roster spots 19 and 20 are not required to be fi lled, and teams may spread their salary budget across only 18 Salary Budget Players.
A minimum salary budget charge will be imputed against a team’s salary budget for each unfi lled senior roster slot below 18.
• The maximum budget charge for a single player is $335,000.*
• A Designated Player counts $335,000 against the club’s salary budget, unless the player joins his club in the middle of the season,
in which case his budget charge will be $167,500.
* See section entitled Allocation Money below, under Player Acquisition Mechanisms, for details on buying down a player’s budget
charge.
Players occupying roster spots 21-30 do not count against the club’s salary budget, and are referred to collectively as the club’s Off-
Budget Players (maximum of 10 per team).
• All Generation adidas players are Off-Budget players.
• Players occupying roster spots 1-24 will earn at least $42,000 in 2011.
• Players occupying roster spots 25-30 will earn at least $32,600 in 2011.
Clubs may elect to leave up to two of these roster spots (25-30) vacant and use $35,000 for each empty spot as allocation money.
Clubs may sign up to two Home Grown Players to Generation adidas contracts.
AGE DESIGNATIONS:
Any player making $32,600 must be under the age 25 (does not turn 25 or older in 2011).
DOMESTIC/INTERNATIONAL:
In 2011, a total of 144 international slots are divided among the 18 clubs. Each club began with eight international slots, which are
tradable. There is no limit on the number of international slots on each club’s roster.
• The remaining roster slots must belong to domestic players. For clubs based in the United States, a domestic player is either a U.S.
citizen, a permanent resident (green card holder) or the holder of other special status (e.g., refugee or asylum status).
The two MLS clubs based in Canada – Toronto FC and Vancouver Whitecaps FC – began with eight international slots, but their domestic
slots may be fi lled with either Canadian or U.S. domestic players.
• MLS clubs based in Canada are required to have a minimum of three Canadian domestic players on their rosters.
• Players with the legal right to work in Canada are considered Canadian domestic players (i.e., Canadian citizen, permanent resident,
part of a protected class).
NOTE: The terms Home Grown and Generation adidas are used to describe mechanisms by which players are acquired. They are not roster
designations. All players’ roster slots are determined by their compensation and/or age as outlined above.
PLAYER ACQUISITION MECHANISMS
MLS teams may acquire players and add them to their rosters via the following mechanisms:
2011 MLS PLAYER RULES AND REGULATIONS
ALLOCATION RANKING
The allocation ranking is the mechanism used to determine which MLS club has fi rst priority to acquire a U.S. National Team player who
signs with MLS after playing abroad, or a former MLS player who returns to the League after having gone to a club abroad for a transfer
fee. The allocation rankings may also be used in the event two or more clubs fi le a request for the same player on the same day. The
allocations will be ranked in reverse order of fi nish for the 2010 season, taking playoff performance into account.
Once the club uses its allocation ranking to acquire a player, it drops to the bottom of the list. A ranking can be traded, provided that
part of the compensation received in return is another club’s ranking. At all times, each club is assigned one ranking. The rankings reset
at the end of each MLS League season.
173

2011 MLS PLAYER RULES AND REGULATIONS
ALLOCATION MONEY
Allocation money is a resource available to clubs in addition to their respective salary budgets.
A club may receive allocation money for:
(1) failure to qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs;
(2) the transfer of a player to a club outside of MLS for value;
(3) expansion status;
(4) qualifi cation for the CONCACAF Champions League;
Each year the MLS Competition Committee determines the allocation amount to be made available to each club. Allocation money can
be traded by clubs. Allocation money does not count against a club’s salary budget and can be used:
• To sign players new to MLS (that is, a player who did not play in MLS during the previous season).
• To re-sign an existing MLS player, subject to League approval.
• To “buy-down” a player’s salary budget charge below the League maximum of $335,000.
• In connection with the exercise of an option to purchase a player’s rights or the extension of a player’s contract for the second year
provided the player was new to MLS in the immediately prior year.
NOTE: To protect the interests of MLS and its clubs during discussions with prospective players or clubs in other leagues, amounts of
allocation money held by each club will not be shared publicly. (Similarly, most clubs in other countries do not announce the amount of
money they plan to spend during a given transfer window.)
DESIGNATED PLAYER
The Designated Player Rule allows clubs to acquire up to three players whose salaries exceed their budget charges, with the club bearing
fi nancial responsibility for the amount of compensation above each player’s budget charge. Designated Player slots may be used to
acquire players new to MLS or to retain current MLS players, subject to League approval.
In 2011, a Designated Player’s salary budget charge will be $335,000, unless the player joins his club in the middle of the season, in which
case his budget charge will be $167,500.
Each club has two Designated Player slots, and clubs are allowed to “purchase” a third Designated Player slot for a one-time fee of
$250,000 that will be dispersed in the form of allocation money to all clubs that do not have three Designated Players.
Designated Player slots are not tradable.
Clubs have the option of “buying down” the budget charge of a Designated Player with allocation money. The reduced charge may not
be less than $150,000.
SUPERDRAFT
The 2011 MLS SuperDraft, held Jan. 13 in Baltimore, Md., consisted of three rounds of 18 picks for a total of 54 player selections. A
supplemental draft was held Jan. 18 via teleconference and consisted of three rounds.
The majority of draft prospects are NCAA college seniors who have exhausted their college eligibility. Generation adidas players and noncollegiate
international players are also eligible for selection in the SuperDraft and supplemental draft. Clubs may nominate players for
the League’s draft-eligible list, and only players from that list may be selected.
Generation adidas is a joint program between MLS and adidas that is dedicated to developing exceptional domestic talent in a professional
environment. Each year, a handful of top domestic underclassmen and youth national team players are signed to the league and placed
in the SuperDraft through this program. Generation adidas players also receive an educational stipend.
Draft Order: Through the Expansion Priority Draft, Vancouver Whitecaps FC earned the fi rst selection in the 2011 MLS SuperDraft while
the Portland Timbers selected second. The next six selections went to clubs that did not qualify for the 2010 MLS Cup Playoffs beginning
with the club with fewest regular season points (3 points per win, one point per tie). The remaining eight positions were ranked by fewest
regular season points among the teams that were eliminated in the same round of the MLS Cup Playoffs.
Unless claimed on waivers, a player who was drafted by a particular team through the SuperDraft or supplemental draft and did not sign
with the League, is placed on that team’s “College Protected List” until the second December 31 following the draft in question, after
which the team loses the rights to the player.
TRADES
Players, SuperDraft and supplemental draft picks, allocation money, allocation rankings, and international player slots may all
be exchanged in trades approved by the MLS League Offi ce, provided all of the necessary rules regarding roster and salary budget
compliance are met and the trade is completed during a valid trading period. No trades may occur after the Roster Freeze Deadline of
September 15, 2011 at 5 p.m. ET.
174
CHICAGO FIRE SOCCER CLUB
chicago-fire.com
DISCOVERY SIGNINGS
Clubs may make discovery claims on players not yet under MLS contract who are not subject to the allocation ranking or lottery
mechanisms.
Each club has the opportunity to make six discovery signings per season (expansion teams may make 10 discovery signings in their
inaugural season). A club may have up to 10 discovery claims on unsigned players at any time and may remove or add players at any time.
The last day for discovery player signings is September 15, 2011 – coinciding with the roster freeze date and trade deadline.
The six discovery signings can be used to fi ll senior roster spots only. If multiple clubs claim the same player using a discovery, the club
that fi led the claim fi rst will have fi rst rights to the player. Discovery claims expire following each season. If the League and player are
unable to reach an agreement during the season, the club that fi rst fi led the discovery retains the right of fi rst refusal in the event the
player is later signed by the League.
Note: To protect interests of MLS clubs in scouting and negotiations with prospective players, the League offi ce will not publicize the
names of players on club discovery lists, nor specify if a discovery claim has been fi led on a particular player.
HOME GROWN PLAYER SIGNINGS
A club may sign a player to his fi rst professional contract without subjecting him to the MLS SuperDraft if the player has trained for at
least one year in the club’s youth development program and has met League criteria. Players joining MLS through this mechanism are
known as Home Grown Players.
There is no limit to the number of Home Grown Players a club may sign in a given year.
RE-ENTRY PROCESS
The 2011 Re-Entry Process will commence after MLS Cup. The priority order for the Re-Entry Draft is reverse order of fi nish in 2011, taking
into account playoff performance.
Available to all teams in Stage 1 of the Re-Entry draft will be:
2011 MLS PLAYER RULES AND REGULATIONS
(1) Players who are at least 23 years old and have a minimum of three years experience in MLS whose options were not exercised by their
clubs (available at option salary for 2012).
(2) Players who are at least 25 years old with a minimum of four years of MLS experience who are out of contract and whose club does
not wish to re-sign them at their previous salary (available for at least their 2011 salary).
(3) Players who are at least 30 years old with a minimum of eight years of MLS experience who are out of contract and whose club does
not wish to re-sign them (available for at least 105% of their 2011 salary).
Players who are not selected in Stage 1 of the Re-Entry Draft will be made available in Stage 2. Clubs selecting players in Stage 2 will
negotiate a new salary with the player.
Players who remain unselected after Stage 2 will be available to any MLS club on a fi rst come, fi rst serve basis.
WAIVERS
A team may place a player on waivers at any time during the regular season at which point he is made available to all other teams. The
waiver claiming period shall commence on the fi rst business day after the League delivers notice to teams and shall expire at 5 p.m. EST
on the second business day after the Waiver Period Commencement Date. The claiming period is 48 hours.
The Waiver Draft order is determined via points per game once all teams have played at least three MLS League games. If the waiver takes
place prior to all teams playing in at least three League games, priority shall be granted based upon the prior year’s performance, taking
playoff performance fi rst, with teams eliminated from playoff contention at the same stage separated according to their point totals
through the end of the regular season. New expansion teams shall be at the bottom of the waiver order.
Once a team selects a player off waivers, that club is automatically moved to the bottom of the priority list for subsequent waiver
selections in a given season, regardless of its points-per-game total. Players who may be placed on the MLS waiver wire are as follows:
(1) A player waived by an MLS team in the current season;
(2) A player who completed his college eligibility within the past season, who was not made available in the SuperDraft or supplemental
draft;
(3) A player who has remaining college eligibility (and was not made available in the SuperDraft or supplemental draft), but the League
at its discretion and after taking into account exceptional circumstances determines the player may be offered an MLS contract;
(4) A player who has played in MLS previously where his last MLS team does not wish to exercise their right of fi rst refusal, except in the
case of returning U.S. National Team players as stated above.
(5) A player who was drafted in the SuperDraft or supplemental draft, and who after a trial with the club is not offered a contract by
the fi rst Monday of June.
175

2011 MLS PLAYER RULES AND REGULATIONS
LOTTERY
Some players shall be assigned to MLS teams via the weighted Lottery process. Any team assigned a player through the lottery in any
particular season shall not be assigned another lottery player that season unless and until all teams have received a lottery player or have
agreed to waive their option to participate in a Lottery. The players made available through lotteries include:
(1) Generation adidas players signed after the MLS SuperDraft;
(2) Draft eligible players to whom an MLS contract was offered but who failed to sign with the League prior to the Draft.
The weighted lottery takes into consideration each team’s performance over its last 30 regular season games and the most recent
postseason. The team with the worst record over its last 30 regular season games (dating back to previous season if necessary and taking
playoff performance into account) will have the greatest probability of winning the lottery. Teams are not required to participate in a
lottery. Players are assigned via the lottery system in order to prevent a player from potentially infl uencing his destination club with a
strategic holdout.
EXTREME HARDSHIP CALL-UPS
Teams may add players to their roster in cases of “extreme hardship” as follows: (1) a club with three goalkeepers on its 30-man roster,
but has less than two available goalkeepers or (2) a team has less than 15 available players. Extreme hardship call-ups are made on a
game-by-game basis.
SEASON-ENDING INJURY REPLACEMENTS
A team with a player lost to a season-ending injury can replace that player on its roster, while remaining responsible for the full
amount of the injured player’s salary. A player can be placed on the season-ending injury list once another player has been signed as
a replacement (provided the team has budget space). International player limits still apply at the time a season-ending replacement is
made (with the player being replaced not counting against those limits).
SHORT-TERM INJURY REPLACEMENTS
A team with a player who has a short-term injury can replace that player on its roster, while remaining responsible for the full amount
of the injured player’s salary. A player can be placed on the short-term injured reserve list once another player has been signed as a
replacement (provided the team has budget space). Note that the injured player will have to sit out a minimum of six MLS League
matches before he can rejoin the team’s roster. International player limits still apply at the time a short-term replacement is made (with
the player being replaced not counting against those limits).
NOTE: No changes may be made to a team’s active full roster during the period beginning on September 16, 2011 (day after Roster
Freeze Date) through the day after MLS Cup. Nevertheless, a team may obtain players in accordance with the extreme hardship rules and
procedures to replace players who are injured or otherwise legitimately unavailable after the Roster Freeze Date. Any other replacements
after the Roster Freeze Date may only be made in exceptional circumstances in the League’s sole and absolute discretion.
METHODS OF RELEASING PLAYERS
WAIVERS
Teams may waive players based on performance at any time during the MLS season. Players with guaranteed contracts will continue
to have their salary budget charge applied to the team salary budget, subject to any settlement. Players on semi-guaranteed contracts
can be waived prior to July 1 of any year and free up the corresponding budget space. If a player on a semi-guaranteed contract is
waived after July 1, his salary budget charge will count against the team’s salary budget and the team waiving the player will not receive
a replacement except under the normal player acquisition mechanisms. Any settlement amount will be charged to the team’s salary
budget.
TRANSFERS AND LOANS
An MLS player may be transferred or loaned at any time to a team outside the League (subject to that team’s Federation’s transfer
window), subject to the consent of the player.
The registration windows – the dates between which MLS may request the transfer certifi cate of a player under contract in another
country – are as follows:
• January 21 – April 15 (Primary Window)
• July 15 – August 14 (Secondary Window)
CONTRACT EXPIRATION
When a player’s contract expires, the player does not count against the roster or budget of the team in question. Subject to the Re-
Entry Draft rules, a team retains the rights to the player indefi nitely following the expiration of a contract only if attempts were made
to re-sign the player.

BUYOUT OF GUARANTEED CONTRACT
Teams may have the ability to buyout one guaranteed player as follows:
• A Team may buy out one (1) guaranteed player (including a DP’s) contract during the off-season and free up the corresponding
budget space. Such a buyout is at the particular MLS Team’s own expense.
• A Team may not free up budget space with a buyout of a player’s salary budget charge during the season. Such a buyout will be
conducted by the League and count on a Club’s budget in a manner consistent with current MLS guidelines.
RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
2011 MLS PLAYER RULES AND REGULATIONS
Right of fi rst refusal grants one MLS club the fi rst opportunity to add a player to its roster in the event that the player signs with MLS.
Holding a right of fi rst refusal applies only within MLS and does not indicate holding of the player’s International Transfer Certifi cate.
OUT OF CONTRACT PLAYERS / OPTIONS NOT PICKED UP
Subject to the Re-Entry Draft rules, a team retains the right of fi rst refusal to the player indefi nitely only if attempts were made to
re-sign the player.
DRAFTED BUT NOT SIGNED
A player who was drafted by a particular team through the SuperDraft or supplemental draft and did not sign, or who as of the fi rst
Monday in June is not offered a contract after a trial and clears waivers, is placed on that team’s “College Protected List” until the second
December 31 immediately following the draft in question, after which the team loses the rights to sign the player.
PLAYER TRANSFERRED OUTSIDE MLS
If a team receives allocation money as a result of a player’s transfer, the team does not retain a right of fi rst refusal.

CHICAGO FIRE SOCCER CLUB

For its fi rst nine years, the Chicago Fire was
the nomadic franchise of Chicago sports,
having moved twice, once from the old
Soldier Field to Naperville’s Cardinal Stadium
in 2002 and then back to the lakefront and
the renovated version of Soldier Field in fall
of 2003. But the team’s third move would
be its last, as the Fire proudly called the
Village of Bridgeview and the brand-new
TOYOTA PARK its home beginning in June
of 2006.
TOYOTA PARK, the Midwest’s preeminent outdoor live entertainment and sporting facility, is Chicagoland’s best
multipurpose sports and entertainment destination. Not only does it serve as the home of the “Men in Red”, but TOYOTA
PARK also hosts a variety of community events, special events and concerts by national and international artists.
Nearly a quarter of a million people fl ocked to the $98 million facility on the corner of 71st Street & Harlem Avenue for
soccer events in the venue’s fi rst year in 2006, with TOYOTA PARK’s Grand Opening Match, the highly-anticipated Sierra
Mist MLS All-Star Game against English giants Chelsea FC, and the 2006 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final highlighting a
jam-packed calendar. TOYOTA PARK reached its highest soccer attendance ever on Aug. 8, 2010 as 21,868 fans packed
into the soccer specifi c stadium to watch the Fire take on the New York Red Bulls. Those in attendance experienced an
atmosphere unique to the Chicago professional sports landscape and witnessed one of the best soccer-specifi c stadiums
in Major League Soccer.
The canopy roof, brick façade, stone arched entryway, and midfi eld player tunnel are all aspects that make TOYOTA
PARK a unique soccer specifi c-stadium in the United States, incorporating both American and traditional European
design styles. Beginning in 2007, TOYOTA PARK became the home of the Illinois State Soccer Association’s Hall of Fame
on the stadium’s southeast corner, consisting of both the ISSA Wall of Fame and a History of Soccer in Illinois display.
While the Fire is the primary tenant of TOYOTA PARK, the facility will continue to host some of the biggest acts in music
as one of Chicagoland’s best places to enjoy live music, utilizing the permanent stage on the stadium’s south end and an
additional 8,000 fi eld-level seats to convert itself into a state-of-the-art, 28,000-seat concert venue.
For more information on events at TOYOTA PARK, including an updated calendar, please visit www.toyotapark.com.

FIRE IN THE COMMUNITY
COMMUNITY RELATIONS
Each year, the Chicago Fire Soccer Club along with its charitable arm, the Chicago Fire
Foundation, continues to reinforce its leadership role in the community. The Fire is focused
on its mission to remain a championship team with a social conscience. For the Fire,
excellence on and off the fi eld is a priority and the organization is dedicated not only to the
success of the club, but also to the success of the surrounding community. The Chicago Fire
is committed to providing the necessary leadership in developing programs that encourage
young people to achieve their goals through education and lend a helping hand to the
area’s underprivileged individuals.
ILLINOIS HIGH SCHOOL SOCCER
ALL-STATE ACADEMIC TEAMS
CHICAGO FIRE SOCCER CLUB
chicago-fire.com
The Chicago Fire Soccer Club, in conjunction with the Illinois High School Soccer Coaches Association, names the Boys’ High School
Soccer All-State Academic Team each season. High School coaches from across the state nominate boys that have earned a G.P.A. of ‘B’
or higher, have been involved in their high school soccer program for a minimum of three seasons, as well as have participated in at least
one other school or community related extra-curricular activity.
Twenty-two boys are selected to the All-State Academic First Team each Fall. Those selected to the All-State Academic First Team are
honored at the Illinois High School Soccer Coaches Association All-State Banquet, while the Fire also recognizes the First Team studentathletes
during a halftime ceremony at a home contest each summer. The Chicago Fire also recognizes dozens of additional students on
its Special Mention and Honorable Mention teams.
“SCORING THROUGH EDUCATION”
‘Scoring through Education’ is a free, in-class incentive program designed to help motivate students to achieve educational success. The
program, launched by the Fire in 2006 serves as a tool for K-8th grade teachers who seek unique tactics to help enhance their classroom
activities.
Each participating teacher receives a Welcome Kit including fun classroom activities, tools to track their students’ success and letters
for parents. Over the course of the six-week program, teachers motivate their students to achieve the 3 goals they selected for their
classroom. Once a student has achieved all three goals, he or she is rewarded with a ticket voucher to attend a 2011 Chicago Fire home
game at TOYOTA PARK. To encourage family participation, the program also provides student’s family members the opportunity to
purchase additional tickets at a special value rate.
The program has grown tremendously since its inception and the 2010 “Scoring Through Education” program reached nearly 20,000
students from various Chicagoland area schools.
COMMUNITY SOCCER SERIES
The Chicago Fire holds a series of free soccer clinics throughout the summer in various Chicagoland neighborhoods. These clinics are
open to athletes from around the community, ages 7-14. The series is designed to instruct young athletes on the technical elements of
soccer, while educating them on physical fi tness, health and wellness. Participants are separated into groups by age with sessions tailored
to the varying skills levels. The clinics are instructed by Chicago Fire player development coaches and Chicago Fire players make special
appearances to help promote the overall goal of the clinic and sign autographs for participants. Each participant also receives a free
goody-bag, including a ticket voucher to a Chicago Fire home game at TOYOTA PARK and a Community Soccer Series t-shirt.
PASSBACK PROGRAM
The Chicago Fire Soccer Club’s Passback Program helps collect new and gently used soccer equipment which is then redistributed to
youth soccer programs in the community. Since its inception, the program has grown enormously and thousands of pieces of equipment
have been collected and distributed to schools, clubs and youth organizations across the nation. From a soccer team in Haiti to an afterschool
program in inner-city Chicago, children’s lives around the world have been impacted by this program.
215

CHICAGO FIRE FOUNDATION
The Chicago Fire Soccer Club’s goal on the fi eld is to play hard and win. Its goal off the fi eld is to contribute to the quality of life in
Chicago and its surrounding communities. Through the Chicago Fire Foundation, the Fire is able to give back to the community by
developing programs that reach out to Chicagoland’s community. Since 1998, the Chicago Fire Foundation, the charitable arm of the
Chicago Fire, has made signifi cant contributions to enhance the lives of disadvantaged youth throughout Chicagoland. Each year, we
renew our commitment to improve the quality of life of our youth and communities by promoting health, wellness, education and the
environment. The Foundation supports organizations that share this vision so as to further extend the investment needed to make a
meaningful impact on the lives of our children.
Now entering its 13th year, the Chicago Fire Foundation is a non-profi t organization that helps the Chicago Fire Soccer Club contribute
to the community through programming and charitable giving. With great pride, the Foundation has donated more than $1.4 million
dollars in grants and contributions. With the generosity of the Fire organization and the surrounding Chicagoland community, the
Chicago Fire Foundation looks forward to further opportunities to expand programming and outreach.
KICKS FOR KIDS
The Chicago Fire Soccer Club and Chicago Fire Foundation’s “Kicks for Kids” program enables donors to support underprivileged children
by giving them the opportunity to experience a Chicago Fire game at TOYOTA PARK. Commitment to the program not only adds to
community service efforts; it also provides networking opportunities and other recognition for corporate partners.
During the 2010 season, over 8,000 children from nearly 40 local youth-based organizations were provided the opportunity to experience
the excitement of a Chicago Fire home game at TOYOTA PARK. Some of these groups included Chicago Urban League, Centro Romero,
Boys & Girls Club, Urban Initiatives, YMCA and The Salvation Army.
An extension of this program, which is targeted toward one specifi c game during the season, was held on Thursday, July 8, 2010. The
Chicago Fire Soccer Club teamed up with local contributors and businesses to celebrate the 7th Annual “Kicks for Kids Night”, a soccer
evening organized by the Fire and Chicago Fire Foundation. The event brought together nearly 5,000 underprivileged children from the
Chicagoland area to watch the Chicago Fire take on Real Salt Lake. For many of them, this was their fi rst Major League Soccer game.
PASSBACK PROGRAM
The Chicago Fire Soccer Club’s Passback Program helps collect new and gently used soccer equipment which is then redistributed to
youth soccer programs in the community. Since its inception, the program has grown enormously and thousands of pieces of equipment
have been collected and distributed to schools, clubs and youth organizations across the nation. From a soccer team in Haiti to an afterschool
program in inner-city Chicago, children’s lives around the world have been impacted by this program.

THE ‘RING OF FIRE’
The “Ring of Fire” tribute began in 2003 in an effort to honor members of the Chicago Fire who have made the team a successful
organization and who displayed the qualities the club embodies: leadership, dedication and integrity. The Fire’s unique Hall of
Fame – the fi rst created by a Major League Soccer club – began in 2003, when then-General Manager Peter Wilt chose former Fire
midfi elder and captain Peter Nowak to become the inaugural member. The Chicago Fire, in consultation with the current “Ring of
Fire” members, select the next honoree.
Nowak chose a hometown hero into the select group in 2004 by nominating Fire forward and Chicago native Frank Klopas. Former
Fire defender Lubos Kubik was bestowed the honor in 2005, while in 2006 the award went full circle with the induction of Wilt into
the “Ring of Fire.” In 2007, former head coach Bob Bradley was selected to join former Fire alumni in recognition for being the
club’s winningest coach of all time. In 2009, the Fire inducted MLS Original, 1998 MLS Cup Winner and seven-time MLS All-Star
Chris Armas into the “Ring of Fire”. In honor of each inductee, a banner with each member’s name is emblazoned upon a large,
jersey-style banner displayed on the east side of TOYOTA PARK.
2003 INDUCTEE: PETER NOWAK
As the Fire’s fi rst-ever international player signing in December of 1997, big things
were expected from Nowak, the fi ery ex-captain of the Polish National Team and
veteran of the German Bundesliga. Nowak exceeded all expectations in the club’s
inaugural season of 1998, leading by example with his intelligent and gritty play
and natural leadership abilities. Nowak capped his incredible fi rst season with the
club by earning MVP honors in the Fire’s 1998 MLS Cup victory and just days
later capturing the “double” with a win over the Columbus Crew in the 1998
U.S. Open Cup. Nowak also led the Fire to another Open Cup title in 2000 before
retiring in 2002.
2005 INDUCTEE: LUBOS KUBIK
218
2004 INDUCTEE: FRANK KLOPAS
After success in some of Europe’s top leagues and internationally for his native
Czechoslovakia, Kubik brought his skills to the Fire when he was signed on February
19, 1998. The Czech’s steady presence on the ball, lethal left foot and world-class
marking ability made him an instant leader and one of the most skillful players to
ever take the fi eld in Major League Soccer. Kubik’s remarkable 1998 season ended
with the defender receiving several accolades, including the 1998 Fire Defender
of the Year and 1998 BIC MLS Tough Defender of the Year awards and a spot on
the 1998 MLS Best XI Team.
Klopas was signed by the Fire in 1998 and given a chance to end his professional
career where it began – in his hometown. “Kid” Klopas played 40 games and
scored 17 points on six goals and fi ve assists for the “Men in Red” during the 1998
and 1999 seasons. Klopas ended the Fire’s inaugural season in dramatic fashion
with what still ranks as one of the club’s most memorable moments on October
30, 1998, as his “golden goal” in overtime gave Chicago a 2-1 victory over the
Columbus Crew in front of a rabid hometown crowd at Soldier Field.
2006 INDUCTEE: PETER WILT
Wilt was appointed as the Fire’s fi rst General Manager in June 1997 and had
been the longest-tenured GM with the same MLS team prior to his departure in
December 2005. In the club’s inaugural season, he guided the Fire to a glorious
year as the team captured both the MLS Cup and U.S. Open Cup in 1998. In a
span of seven years, Wilt guided the club to seven domestic Cup Finals, capturing
four championships (MLS Cup in 1998 and U.S. Open Cup in 1998, 2000 and
2003), three division titles (2000, 2001 and 2003) and the Supporters Shield in
2003. Wilt’s acumen for talent was second to none, as he acquired some of the
world’s best talent such as Nowak, Kubik and Bulgarian legend Hristo Stoitchkov,
while also focusing on domestic stars such as Chris Armas, DaMarcus Beasley,
Carlos Bocanegra, Justin Mapp, and Chris Rolfe, just to name a few – players that
helped the Fire reach the MLS postseason for his fi rst six seasons in charge from
1998-2003.
2009 INDUCTEE: CHRIS ARMAS
CHICAGO FIRE SOCCER CLUB
chicago-fire.com
THE ‘RING OF FIRE’
2007 INDUCTEE: BOB BRADLEY
After playing two seasons with the Los Angeles Galaxy in 1996 and 1997, the
Adelphi University alum was acquired by the Chicago Fire prior to the team’s
inaugural 1998 season. During his fi rst season with the Fire, he helped the
MLS expansion side win both the 1998 MLS Cup and the 1998 U.S. Open Cup
to capture the coveted “Domestic Double”. Through the next nine seasons as a
player in Chicago, Armas led the Fire to three more U.S. Open Cup Championships
(2000, 2003, 2006) and helped the Fire reach the MLS Cup Finals in 2000 and
2003. The seven-time MLS All-Star fi nished his decorated playing career in 2007
having tallied 12 goals and 48 assists through 214 games. Armas ranks in the top
5 on the Fire’s all-time list with 42 assists (2nd), 13 game-winning assists (2nd),
19,018 minutes played (3rd), 214 games played (3rd), and 212 games started (2nd).
In 2008, Armas joined the Chicago Fire coaching staff as an assistant coach under
Denis Hamlett, helping the Fire reach the 2008 Eastern Conference Finals.
Bradley patrolled the Fire sideline from the team’s inaugural season in 1998 until
2002, posting an impressive record of 82-54-15 during the club’s fi rst fi ve years.
The former Fire boss also led the “Men in Red” to three championship victories
in that time: the 1998 MLS Cup and the 1998 and 2000 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open
Cups. With Bradley at the helm, Chicago also fi nished also fi nished atop the
Central Division in the 2000 and 2001 campaigns. While with the Fire, Bradley’s 82
victories made him the winningest coach in MLS history, a title he still holds today
with 124 MLS career wins overall through nine seasons, including stints with the
MetroStars (2003-2005) and Chivas USA (2006).

SPARKY AND KIDS CLUB
SPARKY
The Chicago Fire Soccer Club is proud to have Sparky, the spirited Dalmatian with soccer ball spots, as the team’s offi cial mascot for a 13th
season. Sparky’s fl air for dribbling, passing and scoring made him a natural to join the Fire prior to its inaugural season in 1998, and he’s
served on behalf of the “Men in Red” at every home game and dozens of community events and special corporate gatherings each year
since. Sparky is branching out even more in the Chicagoland area as an ambassador for the team’s offi cial fan club, the Chicago Fire Kids
Club. Sparky’s contribution on the fi eld and in the community has made him one of the most notable mascots in the Chicagoland area.

INDEPENDENT SUPPORTERS’ ASSOCIATION
chicago-fire.com
CHICAGO FIRE SUPPORTER INFORMATION
Chicago Fire supporters’ groups mostly occupy an area in Toyota Park known as “Section 8” stemming from its original location at
pre-renovated Soldier Field. The name has stuck, despite changing stadiums and section numbers. At Toyota Park Section 8’s physical
section are 117/118. Fire supporters are well known domestically for their non-stop chanting, colorful tifo displays and undying support
of the club - showing a spirit and devotion typically associated with fans of large clubs worldwide. Section 8 Chicago, the Independent
Supporters’ Association (ISA) for the Chicago Fire Soccer Club, works on behalf of all fans - affi liated supporters’ groups and independent
fans alike - to foster a true soccer community. The vision of the ISA is “…to unite all Chicago Fire fans, to create a dominant in-stadium
force unseen in any American team sport and to establish a home fi eld advantage whenever the Chicago Fire play.” The ISA exists to
supplement the efforts of independent fans, coordinate between the supporters groups and act as liaison between all fans and the
Chicago Fire Soccer Club. As a non-profi t organization, a board of directors is elected yearly at the Annual General Meeting in February
by the assembled supporters.
The ISA oversees supporters’ affairs and acts as liaison between supporters groups and the Chicago Fire club. A registered
nonprofi t organization, the ISA elects a representative Board of Directors annually. Media note: Delineation should be made
between “Section 8 Chicago” (the ISA) and “Section 8” (the physical section supporters occupy on match days).
