WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Megan Rapinoe said her decision to announce her retirement before the Women’s World Cup will help the U.S. team better focus on its attempt to win a third straight world championship.Rapinoe announced last weekend that she will retire from competitive soccer at the end of the current season.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:15:02 GMT

Sinead Farrelly wasn’t sure she’d ever come back to soccer. Farrelly, whose story was at the center of an abuse scandal that rocked women’s soccer in the United States, hadn’t played for more than six years before re-embracing the sport this spring. “I wouldn’t have been able to do it unless I was able to get that off my chest and get that story out, because the healing and liberation from that had to occur before I could ever play again,” she said.
