Last Wednesday, under the direction of Head Coach Huw Williams, the Club played its inaugural regular season home opener in front of over 5,000 fans at Legends Field.
"Our team at Union Broadcasting is thrilled to partner with KC NWSL for their inaugural season," said Chief Operating Officer Alok Srivastava. "We look forward to bringing the passionate soccer fans of Kansas City closer to the action through this exciting partnership and are glad to have women's professional soccer back thanks to the hard work and dedication of KC NWSL's ownership group."
