Two-time FIFA World Cup champion Megan Rapinoe will retire at the end of the 2023 NWSL season, she announced. Rapinoe has been with the Reign since the NWSL’s first season in 2013. More:
Rapinoe’s outspokenness on issues like sexism, homophobia and racism helped change the dynamic of what was “safe” for players to engage with in terms of public image, demonstrating that, at least for high-profile players, there was a way to navigate public advocacy for human rights issues while also representing the US. —“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.
I couldn’t just, like, never imagined where this beautiful game would’ve taken me. I feel so honored to be able to have represented this country and this federation for so many years. It’s truly been the greatest thing that I’ve ever done, something I’m so grateful for,” Rapinoe said during a news conference Saturday.“I just want to be able to soak in every moment and share it with teammates and friends and family and share it with the rest of the world.
