Kansas City to host National Women's Soccer League Championship this fall
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- "If we build it, they will come."
Kansas City is hosting the 2024 National Women's Soccer League Championship at the Current Stadium this fall.
CPKC Stadium will host the league championship on Saturday, Nov. 23.
The match will mark the first time Kansas City has hosted the NWSL Championship, in the world's first stadium built for women's soccer.
“We are so excited to host the world at our home,” said Kansas City Current Co-Founder and Owner Angie Long.
“CPKC Stadium is the first stadium built for moments like these. We are excited to show everyone the unparalleled match experience in a stadium for players, fans and those watching on TV."
The 11,500-seat stadium has been sold out for every home game this season and the Current are currently undefeated at 10-5-0.
“CPKC Stadium epitomizes the explosive growth and investment we are witnessing in the NWSL, women’s soccer and women’s sports around the world,” said NWSL Commissioner Jessica Berman.
“It was a natural choice to stage the league’s marquee event in a venue that exemplifies the profound impact of infrastructure, investment and community support on the continued development and success of our sport."
San Diego hosted last year's championship in front of a crowd of 25,011, a record for the league final.
