About the player
Mauricio Pineda has never worn another club's shirt as a professional.
Pineda came through the Chicago Fire academy between 2014 and 2016 before taking the college route. While at university he also turned out in USL League Two for Tobacco Road FC and North Carolina FC U23, appearances that counted as college football rather than professional moves. On 17 January 2020, he signed with Chicago Fire under the league's Homegrown Player rule, joining the first team straight from the academy system rather than arriving through a transfer.
His first year as a professional brought early recognition: in 2020, Pineda was named the club's best defensive player. A call-up to the senior national team followed in 2020.
He plays as a central defender, wearing number 22 for Chicago Fire.
