Kansas City Current become quickest team ever to clinch NWSL Shield after extending winning streak to 14 matches

The Kansas City Current have become the quickest team ever to win the National Women's Soccer League Shield after extending their winning streak to 14 matches. The Current beat Seattle Reign FC 2-0 to secure the title with five games to spare in the 2025 season. This was the club's first major trophy since being formed in 2020.

  • Kansas City Current make history

    Debinha opened the scoring for the Current from the penalty spot in the first half before last year's NWSL MVP Temwa Chawinga converted a header to seal the club's 14th win on the trot on Saturday night. The three points helped the Current secure the Shield with five games remaining in the regular campaign.

    Kansas City Current's first major trophy

    Kansas City Current, who were formed in 2020, have won their first major title in their brief history. The only other trophy the club won was the now-defunct NWSL x LigaMX Femenil Summer Cup in 2024. This was also head coach Vlatko Andonovski's first Shield. He had previously won the NWSL Championship with FC Kansas City.

  • Seattle Reign suffer seventh defeat of the season

    Seattle Reign succumbed to their seventh loss of the 2025 NWSL season and consequently remain sixth in the table. The club are still in contention to secure a play-offs spot, although their gap to ninth-placed Houston Dash has been reduced to four points.
