Since the Philadelphia Union kicked their first ball in Chester in 2010, there’s been talk of the city’s high school bringing back a soccer program.

During a Town Hall event at the TruMark Financial Club on Thursday night, Union Chief Business Officer Tim McDermott shared that while still not finalized there have been ongoing talks about how the Union partnering with the school district to bring that dream to fruition.
