CHICAGO (March 14, 2025) – Chicago Fire FC II today announced midfielder Harold Osorio has been called up to the El Salvador National Team for upcoming friendly matches in March.
It is the first call-up for Osorio under newly appointed head coach Darío Gómez, who will guide the Bicolor against the Houston Dynamo at 7 p.m. CT on March 19 at Shell Energy Stadium in Houston, and against LigaMX club Pachuca on March 22 at the Estadio Nacional Jorge González in San Salvador. Kickoff against Pachuca has yet to be determined.
El Salvador is preparing to kick off the second round of FIFA World Cup Qualifiers in June, where they will take on Anguilla on June 7 and Suriname on June 10.
Osorio, 21, returns to the senior Salvadoran national team for the first time since November 2023 when he participated in international friendlies against Curaçao on Nov. 17 and 21. Both matches ended in 1-1 draws. The young midfielder made his national team debut in a scoreless draw against Costa Rica on Aug. 22, 2021, at just 19 years old and has earned eight caps since then. Osorio also represented El Salvador as a member of the U-20 National Team, where he captained the squad that participated in the 2022 CONCACAF U-20 Men’s Championship.
The San Salvador native recently made his Major League Soccer debut on March 1 against D.C. United while on a Short-Term Agreement from Chicago Fire II. Osorio came on for captain Kellyn Acosta in the second minute of stoppage time of the Fire’s 2025 Home Opener at Soldier Field.
