CPKC Stadium to host additional international fixtures in 2024

The Women’s Cup is coming back to the United States in grand fashion, showing off two of the top soccer stadiums in North America. 

Kansas City’s CPKC Stadium and Louisville’s Lynn Family Stadium will serve as cohosts for this year’s events, which will feature two four-team tournaments this summer. The full TWC USA fields will soon be revealed, but fans can expect to see top teams from Europe, South America and Africa battling the best in the NWSL for a prize purse of $100,000 in each tournament.

“We are delighted to bring a pair of world-class tournaments back to The Women’s Cup’s original home in the U.S.” said J.P. Reynal, CEO of The Women’s Cup. “We can’t wait to see eight of the top teams in the world compete in two of the best facilities in our sport. Soccer fans in both Kansas City and Louisville show up for their teams, and we know a competition like this, with great clubs from around the world, will be so fun for all of us to see.”

More information on the two tournaments, including participating teams and kickoff times, will be released in the coming weeks. Tickets for both events will be available starting the day of that announcement at TheWomensCup.world. 

The summer edition of The Women’s Cup will follow February’s TWC Colombia event in Cali that featured Racing Louisville FC and reigning NWSL champions NJ/NY Gotham FC against Colombian powers América de Cali and Deportivo Cali. Gotham topped Racing in the TWC Colombia final.

The 2024 US tournaments are part of the new TWC Global Series, played in different locations. The champions of each event will be invited to play the Global Series Finals in February 2025 at a neutral site to be announced.

Racing Louisville won the inaugural TWC in 2021, defeating Bayern Munich in the final at Lynn Family Stadium. A year later, Seattle-based OL Reign topped Racing in Louisville for the trophy. Atlético Madrid beat AC Milan to win the 2023 TWC in the first version of the tournament played on European soil.
