Section 8 Chicago is the Independent Supporters’ Association for the Chicago Fire mens soccer team, and encompasses a growing number of affiliate supporters groups and independent Fire fans. The vision of the ISA is to unite all Chicago Fire fans, to create a dominant in-stadium force unseen in any American team sport, and to establish a home-field advantage wherever the Chicago Fire play.
The ISA exists to supplement the efforts of independent fans, coordinate between the supporters’ groups, and act as a liaison between fans and the Chicago Fire Soccer Club.
The ISA is incorporated as a 501c3 non-profit organization and a board of directors is elected yearly at the Annual General Meeting during the off-season by the assembled supporters.
As an independent supporters’ association, we strive to create an inspiring environment for the Chicago Fire organization and its fans through fostering an increased level of passionate support, providing a conduit among the fans with the organization, enabling participation in activities for Fire fans, and organizing, coordinating, and directing in-stadium support on an unprecedented scale – regardless of where the Fire play.
