U.S. Women's National Team coach Emma Hayes spoke at a press briefing yesterday ahead of tonight's match against New Zealand at CPKC Stadium, the first stadium built for a professional women's sports team.
The big picture: She praised the KC Current's leadership and the investment behind their facilities.
"Always fantastic to see women's-only facilities, and to know players from around the world have a home. Not a shared home. We have been denied fair access to our game globally, and now we have been able to create opportunities to build. It's right to give Kansas City its flowers for what it's doing."
