Wojciech Wojcik excited to be at Indy Eleven

As Pineda and Franco returned for their second season, they also welcomed another player with Fire ties in Wojciech Wojcik. The son of Polish immigrants, Wojcik grew up in Elmwood Park on Chicago’s far west side and played with Pineda in the Fire Academy before going to Bradley University – also the alma mater of coach Regan.

After spending last season with Finnish club FC Ilves, Wojciech is happy to be back close to home, hoping to follow in what Pineda and Franco have already done with Indy Eleven.

“It’s easier to come into a setting knowing that you know some guys that you’ve played with before,” Wojcik said. “We’re all competitive by nature but when you see guys that you’ve known and you’ve played with before, it’s easier. I see the approach here with everything – training, players, the stadium – there’s a lot of excitement for us Chicago guys here in Indianapolis.”
