USWNT legend Alex Morgan returning to NWSL in special role with major announcement in retirement

Alex Morgan is coming back to the NWSL.

Sadly, not as a player, but the United States soccer legend is taking on a new role.

Earlier this week, Morgan was announced as a minority investor in San Diego Wave FC. She was part of the team from its inaugural season in 2022.

"San Diego is where I’ve built my home, where I am raising my children, and found a purpose beyond my playing career,” Morgan said. “I believed in Wave FC before a single match was played, and I still believe this club has the power to change the future of women’s sports. I’m proud to invest in that future and not just as a player, but now as an investor.”
