Club Communications
To receive regular communications from the club (i.e. press releases, media advisories, match previews and recaps, etc.) please email any one of the Kansas City Current’s communications professionals and you can be added to the team's distribution list.

Media Guidelines
Media credentials and access will be granted only to individuals with a legitimate working function at a game, training session or event. The bearer must be on a specific assignment. The grant of a media credential constitutes a revocable license. The club and/or the applicable venue reserve the right to revoke a media credential at any time upon notice. Any unauthorized use of a credential subjects the bearer to immediate ejection from the event. Credentials are non-transferable. Resale or attempted resale is grounds for seizure and cancellation. 

The following actions may result in seizure of credential, ejection of its wearer from the stadium or training facility and/or suspension or ban from KC Current facilities: 

• Requesting autographs at any time. 
• Taking photographs with players/coaches 
• Using credential for family or friends of a working media member 
• Conduction of unauthorized interviews 
• Unprofessional behavior as determined in the sole discretion of the club or venue (cheering in the press box, consumption of alcoholic beverages, foul language, wearing of team branded clothing, etc.) 

The deadline to apply for a single-match credential is 11:59 p.m. CST two days before each KC Current match at CPKC Stadium. All media credentials will be available for pickup at Media Will Call near the Helzberg Gate beginning two hours prior to kickoff on match day. Unless otherwise coordinated with a member of the Kansas City Current Communications Team, media will not be permitted inside CPKC Stadium until TWO HOURS prior to kickoff.  
 
Media members must be at least 18 years old to receive a credential. 

Treatment of Credentialed Media
Postgame Media Access: Players from both teams will be available to media post-game via in-person and/or online virtual press conference. Selected players and coaches for the visiting team may be made available to media, and requests should be made directly to representatives for the visiting team. Media in attendance for matches at CPKC Stadium will have the opportunity to attend live post-game press conferences with Kansas City Current coaches and players. Links and information regarding the post-game press conferences will be distributed on game day.  

Postgame press conferences for Kansas City will be conducted approximately 15-20 minutes after the match with players and coaches in the press conference room on the first floor in the Arvest Bank Club. Locker rooms will not be open to media. 

Under no circumstance shall any club and/or its players discriminate in any fashion against an accredited member of the media based upon race, creed, sex or national origin. 

Seating Access: Accredited media members will have access to the stadium, professional workrooms and stadium seating, if available. During the match, accredited media will have access to the press box which will be restricted to only those bearing credentials. 
 
Press box seats are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Spaces on the north and south perch are reserved for ticketed guests only, and overflow seating is not available unless otherwise explicitly stated prior to the match.  

All credentialed media shall be seated in media seating areas, consistent with treatment afforded comparable media. In addition, all members of the media are to be afforded equal treatment and access to facilities and personnel, regardless of race, creed, sex or national origin.

Traveling Media: Members of the working media who travel with a visiting team will not be treated in a discriminatory manner regarding seating or any other privilege or facility afforded to the home media. Comparable seating and equipment should apply to home and road media (print and electronic).

Guidelines for Photographers and Camera Operators: All photographers and television camera operators must stay behind the field boards at all times, unless released by the on-site photo marshal.

Each photographer will be permitted to use one monopod — but no tripods. 

Stand-alone remote units on or around the goal posts will not be permitted without permission from the home team, the NWSL and the referees. 

Photographer Access to field:

Photographers shall be permitted behind the field boards in the corners of the field and any designated ‘camera well’ areas. Per NWSL guidelines, photographers must stay behind field boards at all times (with the exception of staff/league photographers, national rights-holders or NWSL crews present at a match). 

Photographers must not block viewing of fans or spectators in any capacity. 

Once situated, no movement shall be permitted until the end of each half. No photographers shall be allowed near the team benches, unless released by the on-site photo marshal. 
 
Below is additional matchday information for photographers and videographers:  

• Photographers in BLACK VESTS shall be permitted on the home and visiting bench touchline and are permitted to enter the field of play during warmups only.   
• Photographers in TAN VESTS must stay behind field boards in the corners of the field and any designated ‘camera well’ areas. Photographers in tan vests may be permitted on the home and visiting bench touchline during warmups only.

• All photographers and videographers must maintain a professional distance when capturing content of coaches and players.  
• For matchday questions related to photography and videography access points, please contact either one of the KC Current photo marshals or a member of the Current’s communications team.   

Photographer Identification: In addition to their credential, photographers will be issued colored bibs. Photographers will be required to leave their ID or alternative form of collateral to check out a vest. Photographers will pick up their bib when they check in at the stadium and return as they leave.

Photography Work Area:  Photographers, videographers and ENG crews will have access to the photo work room located off the west side concourse at CPKC Stadium.
