This explosive growth is a direct result of bold investments in infrastructure, talent, and fan engagement, placing the franchise at the heart of a new era in women’s sports.
First- ever stadium built for a women’s pro team
The club’s rise is fueled by its groundbreaking stadium project — the CPKC Stadium — which opened in March 2024 as the first purpose-built stadium exclusively for a women’s professional soccer team. The $120 million venue, entirely privately funded, has become a symbol of progress in the sports world.
With a seating capacity of 11,500 and record-breaking sellouts, the stadium alone has significantly boosted the franchise’s brand value and fan base.Equally important is the $18 million training facility unveiled in 2022, which provides state-of-the-art amenities, sports science integration, and a professional-grade environment that rivals top men’s clubs. These strategic moves have not only enhanced player performance but also attracted top-tier athletes and coaching staff to Kansas City.
Star power and strategic ownership drive visibility
Brittany Mahomes, a former soccer player herself, has played a pivotal role in shaping the Current’s vision since its rebirth in 2020. Her involvement, combined with the entry of husband and NFL star Patrick Mahomes as a co-owner in 2023, has amplified visibility and credibility. Patrick became the first active NFL player to own a stake in an NWSL franchise, further elevating the club’s national profile.
