Club History
Founded: 1998
Nicknames: Men In Red
Stadium: Toyota Park, Bridgeview, IL
History: One of MLS's first two expansion teams (along with the
now-defunct Miami Fusion), the Chicago Fire have been one of its most
successful. In the club's inaugural season, then-coach Bob Bradley
guided the team to the double, winning the MLS Cup and the US Open Cup.
The Fire's early success was due in great part to Polish international
midfielder Peter Nowak, largely considered MLS's best player ever,
Czech international defender Lubos Kubik, and American striker Ante
Razov, who departed in 2004 as the Fire's all-time leading scorer with
76 goals.
All-time record (thru 2004): W 100, L 68, D 43
Former players of note:
Peter Nowak, Lubos Kubik, Jorge Campos, Ante Razov, DaMarcus Beasley, Carlos Bocanegra, Hristo Stoichkov
