CHICAGO - Chicago Fire FC Homegrown player Dylan Borso has been called up to the U.S. U-20 Men's National Team for a domestic training camp from Jan. 10-17, 2026, in Mesa, Ariz.

Borso will join 15 other players on Rob Valentino's squad for a second time, following a training camp in August 2025. The team will train concurrently with the U.S. U-18 and U-19 Men's National Teams, which will include Chicago Fire U-18 Academy defender Kruz Held.

In December 2024, Borso became the 25th Homegrown Player in Club history, and the 11th to sign with the Fire since January 2020. A native of Chicago, Borso was part of Chicago Fire Youth Soccer before he joined the Chicago Fire Academy in 2017, contributing to Academy squads from the U-13 through the U-19 levels, as well as Chicago Fire II of MLS NEXT Pro. Borso has played in 32 matches for Chicago Fire II since making his debut in 2023 as a 17-year-old. In 2025, he played in 24 matches (19 starts), scored three goals and registered one assist.

Chicago's 2026 regular season, driven by Carvana, will begin on the road against the Houston Dynamo at 7:30 p.m. CT, at BBVA Stadium. The following weekend, the Fire will host Eastern Conference rival CF Montréal on Saturday, Feb. 28, at Soldier Field. Scheduled to kick off at 1:30 p.m. CT, the match against Montréal will mark the earliest home opener in Chicago Fire history, occurring one day earlier than the Club's 2025 opener.
