Soccer teams from Thomas Kelly and Benito Juarez High Schools face off tonight for the Chicago Public Schools' championship. The lead-up to the game has included some controversy.

Kelly's soccer coach Raul Magdaleno says the season's gone exceptionally well.

But he says other sports, like football and basketball, get access to better facilities than soccer does.

And he's frustrated. 

MAGDALENO: I, being from Latin heritage, do feel at times that we are treated as second class citizens, because we are the majority that play(s) soccer.

The head of sports for the school district, Calvin Davis, says there's not enough land or money to build all the soccer fields needed.

And football teams get first-grabs at stadiums because they've played there for years.

Davis says some soccer fields now under construction will help fix the problem.
