Members of the 1985 U.S. Women's National Soccer Team were in Kansas City to attend the opening ceremony of CPKC Stadium, but before the game they paid a special visit to the KC Pet Project. “To find homes for these dogs, cats and animals,” he said. Michelle Akers, an original member of the first U.S. women's national soccer team. Akers said the opportunity to help was special. Akers runs her own horse rescue operation in Orlando, and she understands the hardships these animals face every day. “The sooner they find a family or a home, the better their overall well-being will be,” she says. The U.S. Women's National Team will be the first national team in history. They will be honored on Saturday with the first-ever women's match, which will be played in a stadium built especially for the team. “First of all, if we combine the two and celebrate this big event, we will get worldwide attention,” she said. Not only did the team volunteer at the KC Pet Project, they also had the opportunity to tour the facility and meet the game's pet, Pamala.
