One of soccer's greatest stars will retire this fall, at the end of the National Women's Soccer League season. Known for her talent on the field and activism off it, Megan Rapinoe has been an outsized figure in women's soccer. Friday night was her last regular season home game in Seattle with the OL Reign, the team she's played with for her entire 11-year NWSL career.
Celebrating the star were 34,000 fans at Seattle's Lumen field, breaking the NWSL attendance record.
Outside the stadium before kickoff, fans could get face paint, make signs, and get their hair sprayed pink in honor of Rapinoe and the hairstyle she wore when the U.S. won the 2019 World Cup.
