Patrick Mahomes Joins NWSL Kansas City Current Ownership

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has joined the ownership of the Kansas City Current, making him the first active NFL player to have equity in a National Women’s Soccer League team.

Mahomes’ wife, Brittany, is already part of the ownership group for the team that includes Chris and Angie Long. The team, which recently opened the first dedicated training center for an NWSL team, is also building the first dedicated stadium for a women’s professional team in the country.

“I am thankful for the chance to join my wife as part of the Kansas City Current’s ownership team,” Patrick Mahomes said. “Brittany and the Longs have done an incredible job building a world-class organization. I am excited to join another championship-caliber club as it continues to make history.”

“We are so thrilled to make this a family affair and have Patrick join as an owner,” said Brittany Mahomes. “He has been a huge supporter behind-the-scenes. His passion for the Current is undeniable and I am glad that he will be with us as we continue on our journey to become the best in the NWSL.”

The team’s new $70 million stadium, which broke ground in 2022, is expected to be complete by 2024.

“Patrick is obviously a once-in-a-generation athlete and someone who has had an immeasurable impact on the Kansas City community,” added co-owners Angie and Chris Long. “Working with Brittany has been a blessing. We are elated to now partner with Patrick too. The Mahomes are truly a remarkable family.”
