The Kansas City Current continue to break ground, this time on an exciting development for local soccer fans.
This month, the team broke ground on a new 2,000-seat stadium in Riverside, Missouri; a state-of-the-art performance center; and additional youth soccer fields at their existing training facility and headquarters.
The news follows the 2022 opening of the Current’s training facility and the 2024 opening of CPKC Stadium. Both are the world’s first training center and stadium purpose-built for a women’s professional sports team.
The upcoming $20 million project will feature a FIFA-certified, heated grass pitch at Riverside Stadium, which will be the primary home for the developmental team KC Current II. The new 17,000-square-foot performance center will include training areas, locker rooms, a player lounge and treatment areas. The team will also add four grass fields for youth programming, making a total of 12 pitches at the Riverside campus.
The KC Current’s existing training facility is one of three local base camp options for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Base camps serve as a “home away from home” where national teams will train, rest and prepare during the tournament. Base camp announcements are expected in early 2026.
The team hopes to have the new fields and center completed by the end of 2025.
