The owners of Kansas City's professional women's soccer team plan to build a $70 million stadium for the team.

Owners of Kansas City NWSL announced Tuesday the 11,000-seat stadium is expected to open in 2024 at a site along the Missouri River near downtown. The stadium will be the first built in the U.S. specifically for a professional women’s soccer team.

Kansas City NWSL officials say the stadium will be privately financed, with the ownership group signing a 50-year lease. The team's owners have previously announced plans for a $15 million training facility in suburban Kansas City.
