Teams for 2024 Kansas City Current Media Game Revealed Wednesday Night

Kansas City Current News Release


KANSAS CITY - Dozens of local media members descended upon The Pitch Club at CPKC Stadium for perhaps the biggest event happening at CPKC Stadium this week: the team reveal for the 2024 Media Game!

Team Heartland captain Lindsay Shively (KSHB41) and Team Storm captain Misti Mundae (90.9 The Bridge) have selected their teams and made those results public in front of fellow media members, family and friends in a spirited event on Wednesday night. The 2024 Kansas City Current Media Game has 52 total participants, making the club's third annual edition of the game its biggest yet.

Shively and Mundae went to work filling out their 26-player roster with a variety of local media talent. Professional ties were prevalent throughout the draft. Mundae spent her first two picks on Kansas City Current radio broadcasters Jillian Carroll Letrinko and Dave Borchardt, while Shively snagged three of her KSHB coworkers and filled over half her roster with television personalities or producers.

The 2024 Media Game will be played during halftime of the Current's game against Orlando Pride on July 6, in what will be the club's sendoff game for their Olympic-bound players. Kansas City's showdown with the Pride looks set to be one of the marquee matchups of the 2024 NWSL regular season, as both sides occupy the top two spots in the league standings.

Each team's roster is below. Photos from Wednesday night's event are attached.
