🟦 San Diego FC Set to Face Chicago Fire on MLS Matchday 24

🔥 Historic First Meeting in MLS

San Diego FC (12-6-3, 39 pts) will face Chicago Fire (8-8-4, 28 pts) for the first time ever this Saturday, July 12, at Soldier Field. The MLS Matchday 24 clash kicks off at 5:30 p.m. PT and marks the beginning of a new road trip for Mikey Varas’s squad.

🔄 Looking to Bounce Back

SDFC heads into this match following a tough 4-3 home loss to Houston Dynamo — only the second home defeat in club history. Despite the setback, San Diego remains atop the Western Conference with 39 points. The club holds a strong 6-4-0 away record and seeks its first win against an Eastern Conference opponent (0-1-1).

⚽ The League’s Most Potent Attack

San Diego FC leads MLS in both goals (44) and assists (52), outscoring even star-powered teams like Inter Miami. Their aggressive, team-oriented attack has been a defining factor in their impressive expansion season.

⭐ Dreyer Leading the MVP Race

Winger Anders Dreyer is SDFC’s offensive engine, topping the league with 15 assists and 24 total goal contributions (9 goals, 15 assists). His consistency places him at the forefront of the MLS MVP conversation.

📈 Masters of Possession

Team captain Jeppe Tverskov and defender Chris McVey lead the league in touches, with 1,910 and 1,890 respectively. Their composure and ball control define San Diego’s possession-focused style of play.

🔍 Scouting Chicago Fire

Chicago comes into this game after a 2-1 loss to FC Cincinnati and sits mid-table in the Eastern Conference. Their home form has been inconsistent in 2025, posting just two wins with a 2-3-4 record at Soldier Field.

📍 First Trip to the Windy City

This will be San Diego FC’s first-ever visit to Chicago and their first match against the Fire. With 12 wins already in their debut campaign, SDFC looks to continue writing history and solidify their spot atop the West.
