KC Current II Returns to The Soccer Tournament This Week

KANSAS CITY (May 26, 2026) – Kansas City Current II returns to WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, N.C., this week for its second appearance at The Soccer Tournament (TST) after competing in the event for the first time in 2025. TST is the world’s premier 7v7 soccer festival, bringing together top players, celebrities and clubs from around the globe to compete for three $1 million, winner-take-all prizes. 

Using a 7v7 format, TST men’s, women’s and new mixed teams will compete in separate World Cup style tournaments consisting of group play and single-elimination knockout rounds. The women’s tournament will feature four groups of four teams battling it out in the group stage before the eight-team knockout round. Each squad in the women’s bracket is guaranteed three group stage matches.

Unique to this event, all games must end on a game-winning goal through TST’s Target Score Time. A Target Score, calculated from the leading team’s score plus one, is set once the full-time whistle blows after two 20-minute halves. Teams then play an untimed final period – dubbed Target Score Time – until one of the two teams reaches the Target Score. To make that final period even more electrifying, a player from each team is removed every three minutes during Target Score Time. 

KC Current II will face three opponents across two days in this year’s group stage, opening play against Sportive FC on Thursday afternoon before matching up with US Women and Club América Women on Friday. All KC Current II group-stage matches will be streamed live on the TST YouTube channel.
