Gracie Hunt’s New Role
As hospitality captain, Hunt will serve as the city’s ambassador during the global tournament. She highlighted local matchups that fans should watch, including the June 16 showdown between Argentina and Algeria.
“For Argentina, the storyline is massive,” Hunt said, noting that players like Lionel Messi could be defending their title in what might be their final World Cup appearance.
She emphasized that Kansas City’s charm lies in its welcoming people and strong sense of community, inviting visitors to experience match day elevated with a hospitality package.

A fan summed up the mood, saying, “Omg ‘G’ has amazing skills ⚽️ very impressive.”
Hunt’s football talent comes from her background in soccer. As a child, she played club soccer and was coached by her father, Clark Hunt, CEO of the Chiefs. According to PEOPLE, she attended Southern Methodist University and played soccer throughout high school. Her grandfather, Lamar Hunt Sr., was instrumental in bringing Major League Soccer to the US, helping ignite Gracie Hunt’s passion for the sport.
Despite a pivot from potential professional soccer due to multiple concussions, she has maintained her athletic lifestyle, sharing workout routines and fitness tips with her followers.
Aside from sports, Hunt has made a name for herself in philanthropy, fashion and community service. She previously held the title of Miss Kansas USA in 2021 and has been actively involved with the Chiefs Women’s Organization, Habitat for Humanity and other charitable initiatives.
Gracie Hunt is clearly more than a Chiefs heiress; she’s a skilled athlete, dedicated ambassador and fitness icon, all while continuing to make Kansas City proud.
