Welcome to another episode of Chirping FC, the podcast where we dive deep into the soccer stories shaping the Midwest. Today, we have a very special guest—Matt Longo. If you know Illinois soccer, you know his name. A four-time national champion as a college player and one of the most successful high school coaches in the state's history, Matt Longo’s impact on the game is undeniable. But his story goes beyond just wins and titles. It’s a legacy built on passion, discipline, and a love for the beautiful game—one deeply influenced by his college coach as well as his father, Frank Longo, whose contributions to soccer at the college and national levels left an everlasting mark.
