Patrick Mahomes, the renowned NFL quarterback, is broadening his sports investments by joining the ownership group of the Kansas City Current, a National Women’s Soccer League team.
This move marks an outstanding milestone, as Mahomes becomes the first active NFL player to hold an ownership stake in a NWSL franchise.
His involvement with the Current is a testament to his dedication to supporting women’s soccer and the Kansas City community.
Mahomes’ entry into the ownership group is a natural progression, given his existing investments in the Kansas City Royals baseball team and Sporting Kansas City soccer team.
His passion for sports extends beyond his illustrious NFL career, and his commitment to the Current is evident in his statement: “I am thankful for the chance to join my wife as part of the Kansas City Current’s ownership team…Brittany and the Longs have done an incredible job building a world-class organization.”
Brittany Mahomes, who co-founded the team with Chris and Angie Long in 2020, welcomed her husband’s involvement, saying: “We are so thrilled to make this a family affair…Patrick has been a huge supporter behind-the-scenes. His passion for the Current is undeniable.”
The Longs also expressed their enthusiasm for Mahomes’ addition to the ownership group, praising his “immeasurable impact” on the Kansas City community.
As Mahomes joins the Current’s ownership team, he brings his winning mentality and dedication to excellence. His involvement is poised to raise the team’s profile and contribute to the growth of women’s soccer in the region.
This move solidifies Mahomes’ position as a sports entrepreneur and philanthropist, underscoring his commitment to making a positive impact on and off the field.
