Mauricio Pineda has signed a contract extension with the Chicago Fire that runs through the 2026 season with an option to extend for 2027.
Pineda joined the Fire in 2020 as a homegrown player after playing in college for UNC at Chapel Hill. Since then, the 25-year-old has scored five goals and tallied four assists in 90 MLS games, primarily playing as a defensive midfielder/defender.
“Mauricio is part of a core group of young players from Chicago that have demonstrated time and again what it means to represent the club and the city with pride,” Fire sporting director Georg Heitz said.
