Canadian legend Christine Sinclair announced Friday that she will retire from playing professional soccer at the end of the season.
Sinclair retired from the women's national team last year after the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup. She helped Canada win gold at the Tokyo Olympics and bronze at both the 2016 Games in Rio and the 2012 Games in London.She is also among just five players to appear in six Women’s World Cups, and one of just three players to score in five. But a World Cup trophy eluded her.
Sinclair has played for Portland since the NWSL launched in 2013, and over 11 seasons has scored a team-high 64 goals. "As No. 12 hangs up the boots, we thank her for her long-term commitment to our club and consider ourselves lucky to be able to witness the greatness and progress she created for soccer on a global landscape."
