Creating Space: How Left Wing Xícago Opens The Beautiful Game To Everyone

We’re passionate about Chicago Soccer. For the most part, that means writing about the Chicago Fire and the Chicago Red Stars. Yet we’re fully aware that that doesn’t provide a complete picture of what soccer in this beautiful city looks like. There’s semi-pro and amateur teams. There’s adult rec league and youth soccer and futsal and kids playing in the alley behind their house. Soccer is a game played by everyone and for everyone.

One local group takes that remit seriously. Left Wing Football - Xícago is a local group committed to giving everyone the opportunity to experience the Beautiful Game to everybody, regardless of background or gender identity or skill level.
