Kansas City: Soccer Crazed or Just Kicking Up a Storm?
Kansas City. Home to barbeque that brings tears to your eyes (happy tears, we promise), jazz that soothes the soul, and apparently, a whole lot of soccer! But just how much soccer are we talking about? Buckle up, future David Beckhams, because we're about to dive into the beautiful game in the City of Fountains.

Counting Kicks: A Rundown of KC's Soccer Scene
Kansas City isn't afraid to wear its love for soccer on its sleeve...or rather, its jersey. Here's a quick rundown of the teams keeping the city on its toes (and perfecting those fancy footwork moves):
- Sporting Kansas City (MLS): These guys are the OG's, having been around since the 90s. They've even snagged themselves a couple of MLS Cup trophies, so you know they're legit.
- Kansas City Current (NWSL): The ladies are taking over! This powerhouse team joined the National Women's Soccer League in 2020 and is already making waves (or should we say goals?).
- Kansas City Comets (MASL): Indoor soccer? You bet! The Comets are lighting up the court, keeping the soccer spirit alive year-round.
So, that's three professional teams, folks! Not too shabby for a city with a heart of gold (and a serious case of soccer fever).
But Wait, There's More! (Because Soccer Never Sleeps)
Okay, technically these aren't professional teams, but they deserve a shoutout for keeping the soccer fire burning bright:
Tip: Don’t rush — enjoy the read.
- Local Youth Leagues: These little Picassos of the pitch are where future stars are born (and hopefully they learn not to trip over their own shoelaces like yours truly did in elementary school).
- Adult Recreational Leagues: Because who says you have to grow up to stop having fun? Lace up your cleats and get ready to relive your glory days (or, you know, maybe avoid those overly enthusiastic slide tackles this time around).
Moral of the story? Kansas City is swimming (or should we say kicking?) in soccer. Whether you're a die-hard fan or just starting to discover the beautiful game, there's a place for you in this vibrant soccer scene.
