Missouri Reign to Compete in Exhibition Against Kansas City Current II
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ) — The Missouri Reign are set to make a significant step in their development as they prepare to face Kansas City Current II in a closed exhibition at CPKC Stadium. The match will take place on June 16 at 6:30 p.m., and Head Coach Dakota Acock is enthusiastic about the opportunity.
"This is a great milestone for our program and a testament to the hard work the girls have put in," Acock said. The selection of the Reign, a semi-professional soccer team, to compete against the reserve squad of the Kansas City Current signals a notable recognition of their quality. Since their merger with AFC Columbia in October 2023, the Reign have shown remarkable growth in the Women’s Premier Soccer League (WPSL).
Acock emphasized that this match is more than just a game; it represents a chance for the team to further develop their skills and unity. "Not everybody gets to play in that stadium, and not everyone gets to face that caliber of opposition," he noted. He believes that focusing on fun and improvement will be the key takeaways for his players.
As they step onto the pitch in a prestigious setting, the Reign hope to continue building their momentum in the league regardless of the match’s outcome.
