One of the most popular footballers of all time and a US ‘soccer’ legend, Alex Morgan played her last professional match on Sunday, bringing an end to her 16-year-long career.
Morgan’s retirement announcement came as a shock, when she took to social media to announce that she was pregnant with her second child.
“I have so much clarity about this decision,” she said on Instagram.

Morgan played 10 minutes against North Carolina Courage on Sunday, and also missed a penalty before being substituted. The entire stadium rose up to give her a final sendoff, and an emotional Morgan left the football field one final time.
“There have been so many incredible moments in my career but this last moment I share on the field with you I will cherish forever,” the 35-year-old said as per BBC.
Her first child — Charlie — was born in 2020, and Morgan announced that she would become a big sister in the coming months. Adding that family meant ‘everything’ to her, she thanked all her fans and teammates for supporting her throughout the course of her professional career.

Morgan was part of a generation of football players in the US, who fought hard to achieve equality in terms of pay. Joining legends like Megan Rapinoe both on an off the pitch, Morgan achieved what she was after in 2o22 when the US Soccer Federation agreed to equal prize money for both the men’s and women’s teams.
Morgan won the FIFA Women’s World Cup twice with the US, and also won an Olympic Gold medal in 2012.
She also became a household name among football fans from around the world by becoming a cover star in popular video-game series FIFA, and was one of the protagonists in the game’s story mode ‘The Journey’.

At the start of 2024, however, she felt that she was done with professional football, as she admitted in his retirement video. In her 224 matches for the US, she scored 123 goals — fifth all-time in the rankings.
