Chicago Fire FC Announces 2025 Commemorative Jersey Auction for Club's Family Day Match on Saturday, May 10

May 6, 2025 - Major League Soccer (MLS)
Chicago Fire FC News Release


CHICAGO - Chicago Fire FC today announced the launch of the Club's 2025 Commemorative Jersey Auction, with all proceeds benefitting the Chicago Fire Foundation's P.L.A.Y.S. (Play, Learn, Achieve, Youth, Soccer) Program, presented by Meridian. The 2025 Commemorative Jerseys feature limited-edition numbers specially designed by youth participants in the P.L.A.Y.S. Program and will be worn in-game by Fire Players during the Club's May 10 Family Day match versus Atlanta United. Following the match, players will autograph their jerseys for the auction winners.

The Fire's 2025 Commemorative Jerseys take inspiration from the more than 1,400 students who participate in the Foundation's P.L.A.Y.S. Program annually. Program students were asked to draw images of what the Chicago Fire and the sport of soccer mean to them. The Club then used these drawings to create the specially designed nameplates and numbers that will be featured on the Fire players' jerseys on Saturday. The 2025 Commemorative Jerseys will be worn in-game coinciding with the Club's Family Day match. Highlighted by an early kickoff time, Family Day will be centered around the Club's littlest fans, including a Sparky plush giveaway, face painters, caricature artists, mascots and costumed characters, along with kid takeovers around the stadium.

The 2025 Commemorative Jersey Auction officially launches today, Tuesday, May 6 at 3:00 p.m. CT and will close at the end of halftime during the May 10 match. Fans can visit jersey.givesmart.com or text "JERSEY" to 76278 to place a bid for their favorite player's jersey. To place a bid in-stadium on May 10, fans can visit the Chicago Fire Foundation table located at Section 138 near the Midway Club, where staff will be onsite to assist in bidding. Winning bidders who will be present at the May 10 match will have the opportunity to have their jersey signed in-person by the corresponding player after the match. Winning bidders who are unable to attend the May 10 match will have their autographed jersey mailed to them. For more information on the 2025 Commemorative Jersey Auction, please click HERE.

Program is committed to enhancing the academic performance and development of key social and emotional (SEL) skills of elementary school students through a sports-based curriculum, curriculum, serving more than 1,400 youth annually.
