U.S. soccer

The Kansas State School for the Blind in Kansas City, Kansas, celebrated the opening of its brand new soccer field on Friday.

Sporting KC’s season is already underway, and the KC Current kicks off its season Saturday with its first-ever game in the new riverfront CPKC Stadium. With several TV and streaming options in the works, here’s what you need to know to catch every game live.

Head coach Vlatko Andonovksi and the U.S. Soccer Federation have "mutually agree to part ways," the organization said. Last week, the USWNT was knocked out of the World Cup earlier than ever before.

While no KC Current players are on the U.S. women's national team, there are a few Kansas City connections, including USWNT coach Vlatko Andonovski, who calls Kansas City home. Two Current players will play for their home countries.

Most of this year's National Women's Soccer League games will stream on Paramount+, including all but three of the Current's games. Those will air on KCTV5 and the CBS Sports Network.

The players will take part in training and two international friendly matches, ahead of the 2023 Women's World Cup in New Zealand and Australia.

The countdown to Kansas City co-hosting the world’s biggest single-sporting event begins on Sunday, after the World Cup’s final whistle in Qatar.

The Kansas City coach under the biggest spotlight right now is not Andy Reid of the Chiefs, or Mike Matheny of the Royals. It’s the coach of the U.S. women’s national soccer team.

After a yearlong postponement, the Tokyo Olympics start today, placing Kansas Citian Vlatko Andonovski on the international stage as he leads the USA Women's Soccer team into competition.
