Robert Lewandowski landed in Chicago. The Pole is waiting for an important moment!
Robert Lewandowski joined Chicago Fire. On Tuesday (i.e. July 14), the Pole will be officially presented, and RL9 will also have his first training session with the new team.
Let us recall that Robert Lewandowski decided to play outside Europe for the first time. In recent years, the Polish striker was the star of such giants as Bayern Munich (2014-22) and FC Barcelona (2022-26).
Now it’s time for the MLS league and playing for Chicago Fire. The Pole has already reached the American city, so this chapter of the career of the captain of the Polish national team has officially opened.
Presentation by Robert Lewandowski. When is the first Chicago Fire game?
What exactly is the plan for the next few hours for RL9? Lewandowski will take part in the first training session of the Chicago team on Tuesday (i.e. July 14).
Starting at 5:30 p.m. However, a few hours later, at exactly 8:30 p.m., the Pole will be officially presented at a special press conference, accompanied by Gregg Berhalter, manager of Chicago Fire. However, it will be a rather symbolic welcome, especially considering that the semi-final of the 2026 World Cup will start at 9 p.m., in which Spain will play against France.
We wrote about Chicago Fire’s plans in a separate text in WPROST. It seems that this Tuesday’s “new opening” will be more of a symbolic nature than it will actually be treated with the so-called with great pomp.
Interestingly, in the context of Lewandowski, there was also an idea for the Pole to appear in the VIP stand during the 2026 World Cup final, i.e. on July 19. The presence at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey is the idea of one of the club’s sponsors from Chicago.
Fire will play their first match after the break on July 17. The rivals of the Firemen will be the Vancouver Whitecaps. Interestingly, the match will be played… before the decisive results of the ongoing World Cup 2026. The World Cup lasts until July 19.
It is possible that this will be the day of the official debut of the new number 9 in the ranks of “Firefighters”.
