The Chicago Trophy is a men's soccer (football) tournament which took place for the first time in 2007.

Format

Each of the tournament's four participating club teams played two matches. In standard FIFA fashion, wins will be awarded three points and draws will obtain one point. The club with the most points after its respective matches wins the Chicago Trophy. The organizers (Platinum One) have also announced that bonus points will be awarded for goals scored, presumably to limit the chances of a drawn finish as well as enhance competition.[1]
