Rapinoe broke the news during a press briefing: “This is gonna be my last season, my last world cup and my last NWSL season,” she said. “Obviously there’ll be more to come further down the road after. Hopefully we get done what we want to get done. But I just want to say thank you to everybody, to you guys, to Vlatko, to U.S. soccer to — literally everyone that I’ve played with, all of my coaches.
Rapinoe has played forward on the U.S. Women’s National Team since 2006. She has taken home two Olympic medals and two World Cup championships with her teammates. Rapinoe announced with her imminent retirement that the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup will be her final tournament. The upcoming Women’s World Cup will take place in New Zealand and Australia from July 20 to Aug. 20.
It is with a deep sense of peace & gratitude that I have decided this will be my final season playing this beautiful game. I never could have imagined the ways in which soccer would shape & change my life forever, but by the look on this little girl’s face, she knew all along.
