Team Comes to Agreement with First Round Draft Pick

Prairie Village, Kansas (February 11, 2024) – With 60 days until the 2024 National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) season begins for FC Kansas City, the team announced today the signing of First Round Draft Pick, Kassey Kallman from Florida State.

KaseyKallmanKallman was the fifth overall selection in the 2024 NWSL College Draft. She was a Hermann Trophy semifinalist and Honda Award finalist and was the first player from Florida State to be named ACC Defensive Player of the Year.
