    Alex Morgan is one of the most decorated players in history of the U.S. Women's National Team.

    The 35-year-old was a fixture for the Americans on the international stage for over a decade, leading them to World Cup titles in 2015 and 2019 and Olympic gold in 2012. Morgan was also named U.S. Soccer Female Athlete of the Year in 2013 and ranks fifth all-time with 123 total goals while wearing her country's colors.

    Now in the twilight of her iconic career, Morgan was left off the USWNT roster for the upcoming 2024 Olympics. As you watch the Americans fight for gold in Paris, rest assured the young squad will be feeling her lasting presence and impact regardless.

    The USWNT reached a settlement with the U.S. Soccer Federation in February 2022 that afforded women's players equal pay to their men's counterparts as well as $22 million in backpay, among other financial and conditional concessions.

    Morgan may have already played her last game in red, white and blue. Regardless, her influence on women's soccer in America and beyond will reverberate for years and years to come.
