Kaw Valley FC’s first games at home of the 2019 season is an almost perfect representation of what the team is all about. Two games, two cities and two different lineups.
The USL League Two (formerly the PDL) side was formed by Sporting Kaw Valley, an affiliate of Sporting Kansas City. Sporting Kaw Valley was formed when a club in Topeka Kansas merged with the Kaw Valley soccer association in Lawrence and became an affiliate of Sporting KC.
Half of Kaw Valley FC’s home games are played in Lawrence and the other half 30 minutes west in the Kansas State Capital of Topeka, both locations near the Kaw (Kansas) River.
