Megan Rapinoe announces she'll retire at end of NWSL season

Megan Rapinoe, the iconic face of the U.S. women's national team, announced Saturday that she will retire at the end of the 2023 National Women's Soccer League season, and that the 2023 Women's World Cup will be her last.

Rapinoe made the announcement at a news conference in San Jose, one day before she and the USWNT will depart for that World Cup, which will be Rapinoe's fourth.

She'll leave the game this fall having won at least two World Cups, one Olympic gold, and millions of fans along the way.
