After a few weeks of ambiguity, the Chicago Fire's fall schedule is at last taking shape.
Following Major League Soccer's phase one return to play announcement on Saturday, head coach Raphael Wicky and the Fire will now play six games in a span of 24 days, beginning Thursday, Aug. 20 when they travel to face Columbus Crew SC (6:30 p.m. CT | WGN-TV, ESPN+).
“It’s exciting," Wicky told media on Saturday. "We're all happy that we have a schedule now, and again, we have a certain date to work towards, and we have obviously now six games we know in which days they should be played, so that's exciting, very excited about that.
