The 2024 Kansas City Current season was the team's fourth season as a professional soccer team. The Current played in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL), the top tier of women's soccer in the United States.
The Current finished fourth in the 2024 National Women's Soccer League season and qualified for the NWSL playoffs as the fourth seed, where they defeated the fifth-seeded North Carolina Courage in the quarterfinals before losing to the top-seeded Orlando Pride in the semifinals.[1]
Background
Despite making it to the championship match in the 2022 season, the Current did not qualify for the 2023 playoffs. They ended the 2023 regular season 11th out of 12 teams. In 2021, they ended their inaugural season in last place.
Summary
Draft, trades, and transfers
NWSL Draft
In the 2024 NWSL Draft, the KC Current drafted Ellie Wheeler from Penn State, Halle Mackiewicz from Clemson, and Hope Hisey from Arizona.
Stadium and facilities
The KC Current began playing in their new home stadium, CPKC Stadium, the first stadium in the world stadium built solely for a women's professional sports team. The stadium has a seating capacity of 11,500 with additional standing-room capacity on its north-end. The stadium is located in the Berkley Riverfront of Kansas City along the banks of the Missouri River, the namesake of the team.
CPKC Stadium held its first match between the Kansas City Current and the Portland Thorns on March 16, 2024. Kansas City won the match 5–4 in front of a sell-out crowd.[2]
The Current continue to train in their dedicated practice facility in Riverside, Missouri, which opened in June 2022. It was the first purpose-built practice facility for an NWSL team.[3]
