Following a two-week stay in Tampa and a brief stopover in Chicago, 2016 preseason training reaches its third and final phase for the Chicago Fire with the club's recent arrival in Portland, Ore. The Men In Red are one of four teams competing in the 2016 Simple Invitational, which begins for the Fire Sunday (Feb. 21) vs. fellow MLS side Vancouver Whitecaps FC and continues with preseason friendlies against NASL side Minnesota United FC (Wednesday, Feb. 24) and reigning MLS Cup champions Portland Timbers (Saturday, Feb. 27).
All three matches will be played in Portland's Providence Park and stream live on Chicago-Fire.
