U.S. ladies’s nationwide soccer group star Megan Rapinoe is getting the ball rolling on her retirement.
The Olympian, among the most prominent female soccer gamers of perpetuity, revealed July 8 that she prepares to retire from expert soccer after completion of the 2023 National Women’s Soccer League season this fall.
“It is with a deep sense of peace & gratitude that I have decided this will be my final season playing this beautiful game,” Rapinoe, 38, composed on Instagram, together with a photo of herself as a kid. “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.”
The professional athlete’s fiancée, fellow Olympian and retired WNBA legend Sue Bird revealed her assistance for her partner, commenting, “Congrats, baby!! That little girl is going to continue to do so much good in this world (but she sure did kill it on the field). I love you.”
