The spotlight is firmly fixed on KC Current this year, as the Kansas-based soccer team emerges as a trailblazer in the women’s league. Their recent achievement of securing the first dedicated home ground for a women’s team has drawn widespread attention. USWNT legend Sam Mewis has lauded the team’s investors, Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany, stating that she expects nothing less from the part-owners who injected $117 million into the venture.
The Current commenced their 2024 NWSL campaign on an exhilarating note, clinching a thrilling 5-4 victory against the Portland Thorns at their newly minted CPKC Stadium. This intense match, featuring nine goals, sparked discussions on ‘The Women’s Game’ podcast, hosted by Mewis. Guest Lynn Williams, of Gotham FC, praised Kansas City’s burgeoning culture, noting its appeal to both players and fans alike.
Mewis echoed Williams’ sentiments, emphasizing the importance of investing in the team, particularly through initiatives like building a dedicated stadium. Her comments reflect her belief in the transformative potential of such investments, especially in light of her own experience representing the Current in the previous season.
In a recent ESPN interview, Patrick Mahomes elaborated on his decision to invest $120 million in constructing KC Current’s new stadium, highlighting his desire to provide a platform for his young daughter and other talented athletes. He expressed his optimism for the team’s future and his commitment to leading them to success in the NWSL.
Mahomes’ dedication to the team’s success is evident, signaling a new chapter in the franchise’s journey. As the season unfolds, all eyes will be on Vlatko Andonovski’s side, eager to see if they can translate Mahomes’ investment into on-field success and bring glory to Kansas City.
