Soccer legend Megan Rapinoe announces she will retire after 2023 season

Megan Rapinoe, a U.S. Women's National Team legend, will retire from professional soccer, she and the organization announced Saturday.

The 38-year-old, who is known for her clutch performances on the field, will retire after the 2023 National Women's Soccer League season in October with her team, the OL Reign, following her final appearance in the Women's World Cup this summer.

"I feel incredibly grateful to have played as long as I have, to be as successful as we've been, and to have been a part of a generation of players who undoubtedly left the game better than they found it," Rapinoe said in the USWNT statement.
