World Class Soccer in the Windy City

Thousands of people filling supporter sections that are open to all. Massive tifos.

Free, accessible pick-up soccer everywhere in the city.

This is just part of our vision.

The Red Line Supporters Group believes first and foremost that Chicago is one of the greatest cities in the world and that it's soccer community should reflect that.

 

The supporters sections for the professional teams should be packed, coordinated, and able to create intimidating atmospheres for visiting teams and supporters. The local amateur teams should enjoy robust support from their neighborhood communities. Every Chicagoan should have access to organized pickup soccer that is free to join and open to everyone. We are committed to the work it takes to get our community there and to providing a platform for citizens of this great city to find their place to put their shoulder to the wheel.

​

RLSG is dedicated to building a community for all Chicago soccer fans. We believe that requires work in service of all four of our foundational pillars:

 

​

​

​​

Our members Slack acts as a public square for like-minded Chicago soccer fans to come together and plan ways to further uplift these four pillars. It also helps members that are primarily focused in one area meet members that are primarily focused in others and provide ample opportunity for crossover. A dedicated Red Stars fan becomes much more likely to go to a Fire game when going with other members. A consistent pickup player is more likely to be down to grab a 6-pack and go watch a free Edgewater Castle game on the lake if they can meet another member there to share it with. The community also frequently breaks out into non-Chicago soccer events and activities. RLSG has fielded a season-winning trivia team at AJ Hudsons for three years. Members frequently meet up with each other at baseball games, music festivals, and concerts. There is a monthly hiking group, a foodie group that organizes restaurant crawls, a book club, a video games group, and more. 

​

All that is required to be a RLSG member is to choose any level of monthly dues and follow these three rules:

​

- No bullshit. This means no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, violence, etc. 

- Support Chicago soccer. We're not here for fans of one of our foundational pillars that try to knock down any of the other three.

- Stand shoulder-to-shoulder with other supporters and SGs. The Red Line is great, but there are other great supporters group and individuals. We strive to keep a collaborative relationship with all of them.

​

RLSG member dues are set by the individual. We have some members that contribute $1 a month and others that contribute $20. All dues levels are accepted and collectively they pool together to allow us to operate with a consistent monthly stream of revenue. We are approaching the monthly dues target that will allow us to maintain a mini-bus, greatly enhancing our abilities to provide access to the many events happening across our city and the neighboring suburbs.
