NWSL Championship Set for CPKC Stadium

The NWSL Championship will take place at CPKC Stadium in Kansas City, marking a historic event as it is the first stadium built specifically for a women's professional sports team. Although the KC Current, who finished the season with a strong record, lost to the Orlando Pride in the semifinals, the championship match will still showcase the stadium's capacity of 11,500, which has been sold out for all home games this season. CPKC Stadium's General Manager, Stefanie Tomlin, emphasized the significance of hosting such a high-profile event, likening it to the Super Bowl for women's soccer. Mira Emma, the Sports Field Manager, highlighted the establishment of an all-female grounds crew for the match, promoting diversity and inclusion in the industry. Community events leading up to the match reflect Kansas City's support for women's athletics. The championship game promises to draw significant attention from both local and global audiences as CPKC Stadium continues to set a precedent for women's sports facilities.
