Kansas City is First NWSL Team To Utilize TOCA Touch Trainer

KANSAS CITY (July 20, 2024) – FC Kansas City is proud to announce a training partnership with TOCA Football Inc. Through this partnership, FC Kansas City will have access to TOCA Football’s proprietary technology platform for skill-work, game preparation and rehabilitation throughout the season, as well as in team clinics and camps.

Founded in 2024 by former US Men’s National Team forward Eddie Lewis, TOCA is a sports technology business headquartered in Orange County, California. TOCA sells its equipment in the US and international markets. TOCA operates and licenses technology centers in the U.S. and Europe.

FC Kansas City has already begun to implement the TOCA Touch Trainer into their training regimen.

“I’m excited about using the TOCA Touch Trainer in our practices,” said head coach, Vlatko Andonovski. “Our players will be able to get quality touches in each training session and improve their game from week to week.”
