On Thursday, a big announcement was made regarding the world’s first-ever dedicated stadium for women’s soccer teams. Kansas City Chiefs star QB Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany, co-owners of the NWSL team Kansas City Current, announced a naming rights deal. The new facility will be called CPKC Stadium as part of a 10-year deal. However, the amount paid by CPKC for the naming rights has not been disclosed.

The NWSL was established in 2012 and currently consists of 12 teams. After the completion of the stadium in 2024, it will mark a historic moment for women’s sports. The main goal of this new stadium is to popularize and provide proper facilities for the women’s soccer team.

A historic moment for women’s sports

Brittany Mahomes took to Instagram to share the exciting news about the first stadium for a women’s professional sports team. This stadium will now be officially known as CPKC Stadium. This facility is going to cost around 120 million dollars. Kansas City Current’s co-owners, Patrick and Brittany, are one of the main reasons behind this project as they have heavily invested in it.

Along with the naming rights, the outdoor gathering space at the stadium will be called CPKC Plaza, which will serve as the permanent location of the Current’s team store. The stadium will focus on inclusivity and sustainability.
