Forward Madison breakout star Michael Vang joins Chicago Fire for preseason

Michael Vang of Forward Madison FC had a monster 2020 with the Flamingoes in USL League One, and now he’s turned that into an even bigger opportunity: a preseason trial with the Chicago Fire.

Vang is on the Fire’s 30-man roster for preseason, which begins Monday morning at SeatGeek Stadium in Bridgeview, before shifting to Orlando, Fla. for a month beginning March 7. The other 29 players on the roster are all members of the Fire’s first team.

The 20-year-old forward had four goals and two assists in 13 games in his first season with Forward Madison last season.
