His arrival brought another layer of attention to a franchise that was already building momentum.

Forbes reported the figure, which places Kansas City just behind Angel City FC at $340 million.A valuation does not mean the owners suddenly have $325 million sitting in the bank. It reflects what investors and the market believe the franchise could be worth based on its growth, business prospects and future potential.The club has also made its ambitions clear. Its official messaging says, “When Angie Long, Chris Long and Brittany Mahomes brought this NWSL franchise to Kansas City, they were clear in their commitment to do it right—for the players and for the city,” while adding that the organization wants “to become the best women’s football club in the world.”That vision gives the Mahomes investment a bigger meaning. The story is not simply about a rising valuation. It is about helping create a serious sports institution in a market where women’s soccer continues to gain attention.
