When Patrick Mahomes hoisted the Lombardi Trophy after the Chiefs’ Super Bowl LVIII triumph, it was a moment etched into the annals of NFL history. But for this athletic dynasty, the pursuit of greatness extends far beyond the gridiron. Over Memorial Day weekend, Zoe Mahomes, Patrick’s half-sister, proved the family’s sporting genes run deep by leading her team to the championship title at the City Futsal Soccer 3v3 Tournament.

The jubilant scene unfolded as Zoe shared an Instagram story capturing the victorious moment. Donning their pink “Sting in Pink” jerseys emblazoned with an AIDS logo, Zoe and her teammates Martina Villegas, Kinley, and Kennedy beamed alongside their coach, Martina Villegas’ father, Jimmy Villegas. The caption, a simple yet powerful declaration – “Champions.”

The City Futsal 3v3 Tournament, where Zoe Mahomes and her teammates etched their names into history, is a crucible for young talents. Designed for the age divisions ranging from 2018 to 2010 births, the tournament fosters an environment where teamwork and camaraderie reign supreme, with a maximum roster of six players per team. Each squad was guaranteed three thrilling matches, with the intense action unfolding in two 12-minute halves, mirroring the fast-paced nature of the beautiful game. The City Futsal Sports Park, a veritable cathedral for soccer enthusiasts, provided the perfect stage for these rising stars to showcase their skills, leaving an indelible mark on the tournament’s storied legacy.

Patrick Mahomes Sr., Zoe’s and Patrick’s father, has long been a beacon of support, attending his children’s crucial games with unwavering dedication. Just months ago, Mahomes Sr. broke his social media hiatus to share Zoe’s hat-trick heroics, a glimpse into the deep bond that ties this family together. “Hat trick for this young lady today in 6-0 win. Way to go Zoe,” he wrote, his words brimming with paternal pride.

Meanwhile, the City Futsal 3v3 Tournament, where “you are always involved in the action,” proved to be the perfect stage for Zoe’s talents to shine. With “fewer players on the field and bench,” she seized the opportunity to showcase her skills, echoing the tournament’s promise of “more touches, more moves, and a lot more goals!”
