The fans recognize Mahomes for the investments he makes back into sports. Earlier today, NWSL soccer side, Kansas City Current made an announcement that got a smile on every soccer fan’s face. Along with his wife, the NFL star is now the co-owner of Kansas City Current. As expected, Mahomes received a warm welcome from the fans.
Patrick Mahomes is now the co-owner of Kansas City Current!
Kansas City Current is one of those clubs that have a very tightly-knit fanbase. These fans share every happy and sad moment together. A prime example is when the club announced that Mahomes would be a new co-owner. The majority of the fans could not contain their excitement. They were delighted to welcome the NFL star on board.
However, Patrick Mahomes is already part of the Kansas City community because he plays for the Kansas City Chiefs in the NFL. Hence, the NFL star did not need to be introduced. Patrick Mahomes’ wife, Brittany Mahomes is currently also one of the co-owners of the women’s soccer club. In 2020, Brittany Mahomes purchased a stake that made the club’s ownership female-heavy.
Kansas City Current announced the Mahomes deal last night. Let’s have a look at how the fans reacted to the announcement.

Current co-owners also publicly expressed their happiness. Brittany Mahomes said, “He (Patrick) has been a huge supporter behind-the-scene. His passion for the Current is undeniable and I am glad that he will be with us as we continue on our journey to become the best in the NWSL.”
Kansas City Current had a mind-blowing 2022 season in the NWSL. The club finished 5 on the points table, which meant they were eligible for the playoffs. Current went through all the way to the finals but unfortunately lost that game against the Portland Thorns. The last season was a massive upgrade as compared to when the club finished last in 2021.
