**Chicago Fire FC Partners with Meridian to Expand Soccer Programs in Chicago**

Chicago Fire FC has announced its ongoing partnership with Meridian of Illinois this holiday season to promote youth soccer throughout the city of Chicago. The collaboration will focus on supporting two key initiatives: the Kicks for Kids program and the Play, Lead, Achieve, Youth Soccer (P.L.A.Y.S.) program.

The Kicks for Kids program, presented by Meridian, is designed to provide children with access to soccer resources, promoting health, teamwork, and community engagement through the sport. Meanwhile, the P.L.A.Y.S. program aims to foster leadership skills, social-emotional learning, and academic achievement through soccer-based activities.

Chicago Fire FC and Meridian continue to emphasize their commitment to making soccer accessible to every child in the Chicago area. For more information about these initiatives, visit the Chicago Fire Foundation's website at [the official program page](https://www.chicagofirefc.com/foundation/programs/).
