The Chicago Red Stars welcome league leaders, and now 2018 NWSL shield winners North Carolina Courage this Friday at Toyota Park. It’s the penultimate home match for the Red Stars now that a prior match against Sky Blue FC has been rescheduled to September 4th.
It will be nearly a month (27 days) that the Red Stars have seen full match minutes, after a Bye Week, international break for Tournament of Nations, and a postponed match - the Red Stars playoff road begins now.
While North Carolina have their playoff spot clinched, the Red Stars sit in fifth place battling for playoff positioning on the NWSL table.
