The Midwest Premier League is excited to announce Chicago Ghost FC as the latest expansion club to join the league for the 2024 season. They will compete in the Heartland Conference.
Founded in 2018, the club originated as a recreational squad before joining NSL Chicago (now the Greater Chicago Soccer League) where they won the U23 Division in their debut season in 2023.
“The MWPL is thrilled about the continued growth of the Heartland Conference and is glad to see a club like Chicago Ghost progress and join the league. Their club is run by an ambitious group of friends who are passionate about the game and their local community,” said MWPL Commissioner, Patrick Hodgins.
The club is led by Owner/CEO Matthew Alcala, as well as co-founders Nolan Ehlers, Krystofer Selega, Matt Bassier, Clayton Mobile, and Alexis “Buzz” Diaz.
“We are thrilled to join such a prestigious league and are very excited to compete against premier clubs in the Heartland Conference. Joining the Midwest Premier League creates new opportunities for our players, club, and community to continue their passion for the sport,” said Alcala.
Chicago Ghost will play their home games at Waukegan’s Greg Petry SportsPark. While their coaching staff is still being finalized, interested players can fill out this form and learn more about joining the club.
