Kansas City Current is one of the league’s fastest-rising franchises, with owners Angie and Chris Long at the helm.

With an elite attack and stalwart defense, the Kansas City Current locked up the 2025 NWSL Shield and will take the No. 1 seed into the postseason.

The Current is led by international stars like Malawian Temwa Chawinga, the 2024 NWSL MVP and Golden Boot winner and a 2025 Ballon d’Or nominee, and the Brazilian National Team trio of Debinha, Lorena, and Bia Zaneratto. Strong U.S. National talents Michelle Cooper, Claire Hutton, Ally Sentnor, and Lo’eau LaBonta give the Current a potent combination of experience and firepower.

Milan Ivanovic, Assistant Coach, Kansas City Current: “Our team thrives on intensity, creativity, and competition, which fit perfectly with the 7v7 style of play. This tournament is an incredible opportunity for our players to test themselves against some of the world’s best in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
