Following their first back-to-back road wins in a decade, the Fire travel to Orlando City looking for the threepeat away from home - something the team last accomplished in 2009 with a 3-2 victory over the now-defunct Chivas USA. Orlando – currently in 7th place and holding the last “play-off” rather
The Fire officially announced Ousmane Doumbia would be filling the team’s third and final Designated Player (DP) spot, joining the team from sister club FC Lugano. The team confirmed Wednesday that the 31-year-old midfielder from Adjamé, Côte d’Ivoire is on loan from the Swiss club through the end
You may be able to assume from the absolutely hilarious and not forced at all title that Inter Miami lost once again, this time 4-1 to the Philadelphia Union. Although it remains entirely possible they make the playoffs with the additions of Messi and friends, Miami continues to make that

The Fire have signed Doumbia. No, this isn’t FIFA 13. And no, it isn’t the same Doumbia… that’s his brother. On the surface, this is a head-scratcher. Ousmane Doumbia is a 31-year-old central midfielder from Swiss sister club Lugano, and he’ll occupy the Fire’s third
It’s hard to believe that it was just five days ago that the U.S. Men’s National Team hoisted their third consecutive regional title when they won the CONCACAF Nations League in Las Vegas, with Christian Pulisic, Gio Reyna, Chris Richards, and Folarin Balogun among those propelling them
