NWSL: Kansas City Current Set A New Standard
On Wednesday, the Kansas City Current unveiled their state-of-the-art training facility, the first of its kind for the exclusive use of a women’s soccer club in the United States (U.S).
More Details
The $18 million complex includes a gym, recovery area, two grass fields, and a FIFA-approved turf field.
The facility was paid for by the three owners of the Current: Chris and Angie Long, and Brittany Matthews.
“From the moment we purchased the team, we knew these elite athletes deserved world-class facilities to call their own,” co-owner Angie Long said.
“In less than one year since breaking ground, our training complex is open. It’s a true ‘home away from home’ for our players — a space designed exclusively for them.”
“It’s huge, and the vision that ownership has to create the best team in the world and facilities in the world elevates women,” GM Cami Levin said.
