The National Women’s Soccer League championship game is set to take place on November 23 at CPKC Stadium, the home of the Kansas City Current. This stadium is one of the first in the world built specifically for a professional women’s team. The league announced this exciting news on Wednesday.
CPKC Stadium is a $120 million privately funded facility that opened earlier this year. It is located on the banks of the Missouri River, just north of downtown Kansas City. The Current have had a fantastic season so far, selling out every match at the 11,500-seat stadium.
Last year’s championship game saw a record-breaking 25,011 fans in attendance at Snapdragon Stadium, the home of San Diego State football and the NWSL’s San Diego Wave. NJ/NY Gotham FC emerged victorious with a 2-1 win over Seattle Reign FC to claim their first league title.
In the upcoming championship game, the Kansas City Current will face off against the Orlando Pride on Saturday night. Both teams have been performing exceptionally well, with 10 wins and five draws each. It’s worth noting that the two clubs have the exact same goal differential after 15 matches.
It’s clear that the excitement is building for this highly anticipated match-up between the NWSL’s top two teams. Fans can expect a thrilling game as both teams battle it out for the championship title.
