San Diego Wave FC have announced plans to retire Alex Morgan’s No 13 jersey number.
Morgan called time on her glittering soccer career last year after learning she was pregnant with her second child.
The USWNT legend won the World Cup twice and also became an Olympic champion at London 2012.
Morgan is Wave FC’s all-time leading goalscorer, earning the 2022 NWSL Golden Boot in the club’s inaugural season before captaining the side to the 2023 NWSL Shield.
The jersey retirement will be marked with a ceremony on Sunday, 7 September at Snapdragon Stadium.
“Alex’s legacy goes far beyond goals and accolades. She helped lay the foundation for this Club and elevated the standard for what women’s soccer is today,” said Lauren Leichtman, Governor of San Diego Wave FC.
“She made this city her home, inspired our fans and community, and helped define who we are. Her impact will be felt for generations, and it’s only fitting that her number becomes a permanent part of Wave FC history.”
