Gotham FC, Kansas City Current and the NWSL
9 November 2026
Gotham FC have confirmed their NWSL semifinal against Kansas City Current will move to Icahn Stadium in New York City. The decision follows serious concerns over the playing surface at Sports Illustrated Stadium, where Gotham normally host their matches.
Gotham and league officials explored repairing the damaged pitch but could not arrange a suitable solution before Sunday’s semifinal. The match will instead take place at the 5,000-seat Icahn Stadium. Club officials acknowledged that the smaller capacity will prevent many supporters from attending.
Why It Matters
The confirmed relocation prioritises player safety but reduces spectator capacity, exposing stadium infrastructure problems ahead of a major women's football playoff.
