Current season

The Chicago Mustangs are an American professional indoor soccer team based at the Now Arena in the Chicago suburb of Hoffman Estates, Illinois. They play in the Eastern Conference of the Major Arena Soccer League 2 (M2).[1] They are also competing outdoors as members of the Midwest Premier League[2]

History

[edit]

The Mustangs were originally awarded an expansion franchise in the Professional Arena Soccer League on September 25, 2012.[3] The team was originally coached by Narciso "Chicho" Cuevas until he was replaced on the bench late in the 2012–13 season by team owner Armando Gamboa.

The Mustangs won the PASL Championship in the 2013–14 season. They were undefeated in the regular season, setting a PASL record of 202 goals in a season. They earned the right to host the Final Four of the Ron Newman Cup playoffs, which they also claimed. They defeated the Cleveland Freeze 10–3 in the semifinals before stopping Hidalgo La Fiera 14–5 in the Newman Cup Final. That victory also earned the United States Open Cup for Arena Soccer title.[4] They became members of the Midwest Premier League on February 1, 2021, and will compete in the league's West Division following the 2021 MASL 2 season. The MAC Athletic Complex in Crystal Lake will host the MPL matches.
