This year, we we hosted over 170 teams and 2,500 players and their families in Kansas City for Sporting Next-Gen.
During the tournament, we saw quality competition and had two Sporting KC First Team players stop by for autographs and photos! We also cheered on Sporting KC to a 1-0 win over Real Salt Lake!
