Alex Morgan, the face of American soccer for a generation, says she will retire
Briefly

"Soccer's been a part of me for 30 years. And it was one of the first things that I ever loved. And I gave everything to this sport and what I got in return was more than I could have ever dreamed of."
"It has been a long time coming, and this decision wasn't easy. But at the beginning of 2024, I felt in my heart and soul that this was the last season that I would play soccer."
"For 15 years, Morgan was the face of American soccer, an icon whose skill on the field helped maintain the U.S. dominance in the sport."
"It made me immensely proud not because I wish for her to become a soccer player when she grows up but because a pathway exists that wasn't there when I was her age."
