Hope Solo announced Friday she has requested a postponement of her induction into the National Soccer Hall of Fame as she plans to enter an in-patient treatment program to address her “challenges with alcohol.”
Solo, who was scheduled to be inducted May 21, shared the news in a statement on social media. The former U.S. women’s national team star is currently facing multiple charges, including misdemeanor child abuse, after authorities in Winston-Salem, N.C., arrested her March 31 for operating a vehicle while impaired as her two children sat in the back seat.
“I have contacted the Hall of Fame and respectfully requested a postponement of my Hall of Fame induction ceremony to 2023,” Solo stated.
