- NFL. NFL's decision on Patrick Mahomes hit leaves fans divided
The rise of the Kansas City Current under the leadership of co-owner Brittany Mahomes continues to redefine women's soccer in the United States.
The NWSL champions have announced that they will represent the league in the inaugural North American edition of the World Sevens Football (W7F) tournament - a groundbreaking 7-a-side showcase designed to spotlight elite global talent.
"The Kansas City Current announced Tuesday the club will represent the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) in the first-ever North American edition of the World Sevens Football (W7F) Tournament," the team shared in a statement.
"The groundbreaking 7v7 tournament will take place Dec. 5-7, 2025, in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and will feature top women's clubs from across the Americas," it read.
The event signals a new chapter for the franchise, giving Brittany Mahomes and her ownership team another opportunity to extend the Current's brand beyond U.S. borders.
The Fort Lauderdale competition marks the first time an NWSL team has participated in the W7F format - a condensed, fast-paced version of soccer emphasizing creativity, precision, and flair.
A new global platform for the Current
In its announcement, the Current also confirmed the lineup of participating clubs, a field stacked with international pedigree and regional champions.
"In addition to the Current, the San Diego Wave FC, Canada's AFC Toronto, Mexico's Club América and Tigres Femenil, Brazil's Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, and Colombia's Deportivo Cali Femenino, will compete," the statement read.
"Together, these powerhouse clubs will compete in a fast-paced, global showcase celebrating the elite skill and excitement of women's football."
The tournament will introduce the W7F brand to a U.S. audience for the first time, with each participating club representing a major domestic league.
The condensed 7v7 setup promises high-scoring games, continuous movement, and an opportunity for teams to showcase individual creativity - traits synonymous with the Current's dynamic style of play throughout the 2025 NWSL season.
Since joining the ownership group, Brittany Mahomes - alongside her husband Patrick Mahomes - has overseen a transformation of the Kansas City Current into one of the most ambitious clubs in women's sports.
From breaking ground on CPKC Stadium, the first-ever purpose-built stadium for a women's professional team, to clinching the NWSL Shield in record time, the organization's trajectory has been nothing short of historic.
The W7F appearance now adds an international dimension to that success. The club's participation will highlight Kansas City's commitment to innovation and competitiveness, as well as its central role in the global conversation around women's sports growth.
The next step in the Current's evolution
While Brittany Mahomes did not issue a personal statement regarding the tournament, the Current's announcement captures the sense of pride within the organization.
It reinforces the club's ambition to expand its influence beyond the NWSL and to compete alongside some of the most storied women's teams in the Americas.
The World Sevens Football tournament represents a new format and challenge for the Current - one that aligns with Brittany Mahomes' long-term goal of growing the women's game globally.
The event's fast-paced matches, condensed field, and international exposure could help the club build relationships, attract global talent, and connect with new audiences.
As the Kansas City Current prepare for Fort Lauderdale, their participation underscores what has become a defining theme of the Mahomes era: breaking barriers and setting new benchmarks for women's professional sports.
