AFC Roscoe Village was founded in 2022 by a group of Chicago soccer players who believed they could compete at a higher level. They entered the NSL Chicago Division that summer and played two seasons — finishing third in the first, then coming back to win the second in dramatic, unforgettable fashion. They returned the following year and won again, cementing themselves as back-to-back NSL champions.
Then came their most audacious move yet. The club grew its roster and stepped into the Midwest Premier League — a fiercely competitive regional league that had just introduced promotion and relegation. In their debut MWPL season, Roscoe shocked everyone: winning the Heartland Division 2 title on the final day of the season to become the first team ever promoted in MWPL history.
In 2025, competing in MWPL Division 1 against some of the best semi-professional teams in the country, Roscoe held their own — beating nearly all of them in at least half their matchups. Entirely player-run, community-funded, and proudly representing the Roscoe Village neighborhood on the north side of Chicago.
The Midwest Premier League is a regional soccer league run by its member teams. The league promotes high-level competition, participates in regional and national cup competitions, and supports member clubs through shared best practices.
The Greater Chicago Soccer League was formed from the merger of the National Soccer League and the Metropolitan Soccer League, featuring the best amateur clubs in the Chicago area. Affiliated with the Illinois State Soccer Association and US Adult Soccer Association.
