Firelands United We're joined by Andrew Chwalik, founder of Firelands United - a new club competing in Northern Ohio with grand ambitions. Firelands is a unique place within Ohio. With roots stretching back to the American Revolutionary War, the region has always had a distinct local identity compared with the rest of the state and those it borders. Recognising the need for high-level, organised competitive soccer within Firelands, Andrew founded Firelands United to give players a platform, people a voice and a club worthy of representing Firelands.
