The Federación Mexicana de Fútbol (FMF) and Soccer United Marketing (SUM) have announced the highly anticipated third annual MexTour W, set to feature the Mexico Women’s National Football Team players in two exciting matches against Jamaica in April 2025.

Kansas City soccer fans will have the opportunity to witness the Mexico Women’s National Football Team players in action on Saturday, April 5 at 4:30 p.m. CT at CPKC Stadium. This game is particularly significant as it is the first international friendly to be held at CPKC Stadium since its inauguration in March 2024.

CPKC Stadium, despite being relatively new, has quickly established itself as a premier venue for high-profile soccer events. It previously hosted the 2024 NWSL Championship match and is slated to host the NCAA Women’s College Cup in 2025. The stadium’s resume also includes the 2024 Big 12 Soccer Championship, the semifinal round of the 2024 NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup, and The Women’s Cup 2024, which brought international club teams to Kansas City from across the globe.
