The 2022 Kansas City Current season was the team's second season as a professional women's soccer team. The Current plays in the National Women's Soccer League, the top tier of women's soccer in the United States. The team was previously known as Kansas City NWSL.[1]
Background
[edit]After finishing in last place during the 2021 season, Kansas City moved head coach Huw Williams into a front-office role. On January 11, 2022, the team hired former United States women's national team assistant coach and U-23 head coach Matt Potter as the team's new head coach for 2022.[2][3]
Stadium and facilities
[edit]In September 2021, the team announced that it was moving from its 2021 season venue, Legends Field baseball park, to Children's Mercy Park in Kansas City, Kansas, sharing it with Sporting Kansas City of Major League Soccer.[4] In October 2021, the team also announced plans to build its own 11,500-capacity venue on the Berkley Riverfront of Kansas City, which was expected to open in 2024.[5]
In June 2022, the Current opened its own dedicated practice facility in Riverside, Missouri. It is the first purpose-built facility for an NWSL team.[6]
