The basketball phenom has been a fan of the Chiefs since childhood.

Caitlin Clark has the Super Bowl LVIII champions in her corner as she and her University of Iowa teammates prepare to compete in the NCAA Women’s Basketball National Championship on Sun., April 7.
The 22-year-old collegiate basketball star and her Iowa Hawkeyes teammates will compete against the University of South Carolina in the 2024 NCAA Championship. The Hawkeyes advanced to the final matchup after defeating the University of Connecticut 71-69 on Fri., April 5. An estimated 14.2 million people watched the game, according to NBC News, making it the most-watched collegiate women’s basketball game in history.
Ahead of the April 5 game, the Kansas City Chiefs sent a special message wishing Clark and her team luck.
“You cheered for us,” the team said in an April 5 Instagram post. “Now it’s our turn! All of Chiefs Kingdom is rooting you on tonight.”
The Instagram post included a throwback photo of Clark as a child wearing a red Chiefs jersey and matching red shorts. She aimed a huge open-mouthed smile at the camera while surrounded by other kids who were similarly decked out in Chiefs gear.
Clark, who broke a 54-year NCAA Division 1 all-time scoring record last month, recently mentioned the “embarrassing picture” while discussing the origins of her Chiefs fandom. During an interview with former NFL quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning, Clark said she is “not a bandwagon Chiefs fan” but has “been a Chiefs fan since I was a young girl,” despite being from Iowa. She explained that her father, brother and many of her cousins exposed her to the team through their own fandom.
“In our basement, we had a Chiefs vending machine, we had those toy helmets that were Chiefs, where you could run around in the yard, and I would knock helmets with my brother,” she said. “I had a lot of cousins in Kansas City that loved the Chiefs. So it would be a yearly thing—we would go down there, watch one of the Chiefs games.”
