The Year of Growth
Woodland, preparing for the World Cup, bolstered their infrastructure, and began laying the foundations for self-sustainability. Youth camps, youth academy, and growing a fan base.

2026
A New Challenge
The Midwest Premier League wanted to make their mark in Kansas City, and they wanted Woodland FC to be the first team in Kansas to become part of the MWPL. Woodland became the first team in Kansas in the league, and have grown the club exponentially since. They are a staple of the Mill Valley community, and have grown their presence throughout the city far and wide. Woodland has become a name with gravitas in the world of soccer in KC, and they are hungry to reclaim their crown. Woodland finished 3rd in the Midwest Premier League's Gateway West Conference. Not the goal, but even more growth was on the horizon for the burgeoning club.
