Rematch time: KC Current to face Gotham in NWSL semifinal at unknown venue

The Kansas City Current will face a familiar opponent in the National Women’s Soccer League semifinals: the same team that ended last year’s historic season for KC. The No. 4-seeded Current will travel to face No. 1 seed and NWSL Shield winner NJ/NY Gotham FC on Sunday at 2 p.m. at a site to be confirmed later. The rematch of last year’s quarterfinal will be broadcast on ABC. Gotham’s home stadium, Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, New Jersey, had scheduling conflicts that forced the league and club to evaluate playing in the 5,000-seat Icahn Stadium in New York City. Other playoff teams, such as the San Diego Wave FC, had similar issues. Gotham, the defending NWSL champion that also won in 2023, shares the stadium with the New York Red Bulls of Major League Soccer. The Red Bulls, whose season is over, are playing host to Mexico’s Club America in a friendly match next Saturday. The stadium played host to a U.S. rugby doubleheader for the men’s and women’s national teams during the last weekend in October. Along with scheduling issues, SI Stadium has been criticized for its field conditions, which could be a reason for the delayed announcement regarding
