ILLINOIS CHICAGO FLAMES WOMEN'S SOCCER

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

University of Illinois Chicago fields its women's soccer program within the Missouri Valley Conference, competing in the fall season at one of the nation's largest public universities with 35,869 students. The Flames represent an institution established in 1913 on Chicago's South Side, providing collegiate opportunities to one of the most diverse student bodies in Division I athletics. Playing in an urban setting that's produced numerous professional soccer talent pipelines, UIC competes alongside MVC programs that span from the Upper Midwest through Missouri and Kansas.

The Flames program operates within a campus committed to accessibility and community engagement across its 15 varsity sports. Illinois Chicago's location in a metropolitan area with deep soccer roots—from youth club systems to professional infrastructure—positions the program to recruit from talent-rich regional talent pools. As a Missouri Valley Conference member, UIC participates in a conference that has developed into a competitive mid-major soccer league, with teams consistently appearing in NCAA Tournament consideration discussions and postseason competition.
