Carrying the Torch: Fire’s Chris Brady makes history with Olympic-bound U.S. team

When the United States last competed in men’s soccer at the Olympics, Chris Brady was just 4 years old. Thanks to the resounding performances of Brady and the U-20 National Team over the past few weeks, though, that maddening streak will finally come to an end. With a dominant, historic 3-0 win over Honduras last Friday, Team USA booked its ticket to Paris 2024, becoming the first American team to do so in any sport.

Chris Brady, a Naperville native, has started all but one of the U.S.’s games on their run to double-qualification for the Olympics and U-20 World Cup.
