The Story:
- Friday night’s contest between the Pride and the Kansas City Current will mark the first time the two sides have squared off since the 2024 NWSL Playoffs Semifinals. The Pride advanced to the NWSL Championship after defeating the Current via a 3-2 scoreline at Inter&Co Stadium last November.
- At the 69th minute of the match, Pride captain Marta will hit her 10,000-minute played in regular season play with the Pride. She will be the first Pride player in Club history to achieve this mark.
- In the Pride’s last match against the North Carolina Courage, forward Prisca Chilufya scored her first goal of the 2025 campaign and her first-ever NWSL goal. Chilufya’s late second-half stoppage-time goal allowed the Pride to rescue a point and draw with the Courage.
Quote of the Week:
“It is always an entertaining game against Kansas [City]. It is a game we have done relatively well in recent games. We are looking forward to it. We are looking forward to being back home in front of our own fans. It should be a really good atmosphere. A Friday night game is always exciting. It is good to be home and excited to get back out on the field.”
- Head Coach Seb Hines
