Job Description
About us
On December 7, 2020, the NWSL announced the decision to award an expansion franchise to Kansas City. In the year following, world-class women’s soccer was brought to the Heartland, where KC Current completed its Inaugural Season in front of the world’s best sports fans. Now, we’re ready for the next chapter. With a new crest to unite us, a best-in-class training facility, and the first stadium in the world built specifically for a women’s sports team, KC Current is ready to write the next chapter with help from those who call our city home.
KC Current and CPKC Stadium are on a mission to do things this sport has never seen. We are carving our own path. For women. For our athletes. For our city. And we’re just getting started.
