Caitlin Carducci

Originally hired as the Director of Soccer Operations for Kansas City, Carducci stepped in as the interim General Manager in May 2024. Since then, she has overseen the acquisition of several players vital to Kansas City’s record-setting season, while also securing the future of the team with the re-signing of veteran players like Debinha, Vanessa DiBernardo, and Temwa Chawinga.

Growing up playing the beautiful game in central Ohio, Carducci has been involved in soccer for most of her life.

Her professional career began at Xavier University as a compliance officer before moving to U.S. Soccer as the Manager of Member Programs. At USSF, Carducci oversaw all professional player registration and FIFA compliance, as well as being the main point-of-contact for all organization members, such as state associations and professional leagues.

After five years at U.S. Soccer, Carducci joined the NWSL as Director of Player Affairs. While there she helped to develop the programs and regulations that have led to the unprecedented growth for the league and the influx of incredible talent from all over the globe.

Carducci returned to U.S. Soccer in 2022 as Vice President of Member Programs and Stakeholder Engagement. Among her many roles, she was tasked to oversee the Friends and Family program for both the 2022 Men’s and 2023 Women’s FIFA World Cup. Her experience at U.S. Soccer, and with the U.S. Women’s team in particular, was a driving force to her joining the Current prior to the 2024 season.

Carducci lives in Kansas City, Missouri with her fiancé, John. An avid runner, she has run 10 marathons, including six of the World Marathon Majors. She has a BA in Sports Communication from Ashland University, Doctor of Law from Ohio Northern University and is a licensed attorney.
