Three weeks before the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the Netherlands national team is set to practice at the KC Current facility in Riverside, a site the club says helped attract the squad.

I-29 in Kansas City's Northland has been repaved and is due for restriping before fans arrive, with Missouri transportation officials also planning to open more I-70 lanes downtown.
State and local officials say the goal is to clear as much roadwork as possible before kickoff, though they still expect heavy game-day traffic and are urging drivers to plan alternate routes.
