Established in 2022, River Light was founded to provide players in Chicagoland with the opportunity to play at an elite level over the summer.  Boasting a men's and women's program, we play in USL League Two and USL W League respectively. 

​

Owners Chad Swieca and Heather Bickerton, both local to the area have goals to elevate pre-professional soccer in the area and in the short term and long term, turn River Light FC into a professional entity.
