The 2022 NWSL season begins this weekend, like the actual season where games begin to count towards the standings. It feels as if we have been in season mode with the 2022 Challenge Cup that began on March 18. And while the 2022 Challenge Cup continues as the season begins, the focus shifts now. For Kansas City, the club will continue to build on the work of the Challenge Cup after wining the Central Division, winning four of their last five games, and clinching their first Challenge Cup semifinal spot.
The tournament showed that the Current are a potential playoff contender, and while Kansas City only played three teams in the league, there were positives from the tournament.
