"Record-Breaking Season Opener: KC Current's Stadium Debut and Youngest NWSL Goalscorer"

The Kansas City Current celebrated the grand opening of CPKC Stadium with a thrilling 5-4 victory over the Portland Thorns in a match that tied a National Women's Soccer League record for most total goals. The sellout crowd of 11,500 fans marked the start of a new era for the team and the league, with the stadium being the first built specifically for an NWSL team. The privately funded $120 million stadium and $18 million training center demonstrate the team's unprecedented investment in facilities for women's soccer, drawing praise from NWSL commissioner Jessica Berman. The historic day also saw the return of former U.S. women's national team head coach Vlatko Andonovski to the NWSL, who emphasized the game-changing impact of the new stadium on women's soccer.
