Glasgow secures short-term loan with Chicago Fire first team

USA’s Major League Soccer (MLS) team Chicago Fire, in a major announcement on Saturday morning, have revealed that Guyanese football sensation Omari Glasgow has been signed to their first team on a short- term agreement.
In another major move, the 20-year-old Guyanese was said be available for Saturday night’s regular season home match for Chicago against New England Revolution at Soldier Field.
Glasgow usually competes for their second team, Chicago Fire II in the MLS Next Pro since being signed back on March 24, 2022.
Since joining the Club, Glasgow has appeared in 42 matches (40 starts) for Chicago Fire FC II. In his three seasons with the Fire, Glasgow has recorded 12 goals and 10 assists. So far in 2024, Glasgow has two goals, including one in last weekend’s 2-0 victory over Atlanta United 2.

At the international level, Glasgow is a constant for the Guyana men’s national team. As a member of the Golden Jaguars, Glasgow has 14 career goals with the senior team. Most recently, Glasgow was awarded CONCACAF Nations League Young Player of the Tournament honours. With seven goals in five games, Glasgow additionally earned CONCACAF Nations League Top Scorer honours, making him the first Guyanese player to win the award. Additionally, Glasgow is the youngest player in competition history to earn the honour at just 20 years of age.
Per MLS rules, a Club may sign a player from its affiliate (MLS Next Pro or USL) to a maximum of four short-term agreements (up to four-day contracts) each season (maximum of 16 days). An individual player may be included on up to four MLS league season match rosters each season; however, that player may appear in no more than two MLS league season matches. An individual player may appear in any number of non-league games during the terms of his four short-term agreements.
The MLS is currently home to several of football’s international stars like Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Luciano Acosta.
