Alex Morgan’s Open Letter to the U.S. Soccer Federation, Supporters, and the Whole Women’s Football Community To U.S. Soccer, Supporters, and the International Women’s Football Community, I am incredibly grateful as I pause to think back on my experience in this amazing sport. For me, football has been a lifetime passion, a platform, and a purpose in addition to being a game. Without the steadfast love, support, and commitment of so many individuals who have influenced my career, none of this would have been possible. I want to express my sincere gratitude to you today.
I want to express my gratitude to the U.S. Soccer Federation for supporting women’s football and giving me the opportunity to compete at the highest level for my nation. Every milestone, from my initial call-up to the U.S. Women’s National Team to my proudest trophy-lifting moments, has been made possible by the dedication to developing and improving the women’s game.
The strides we have accomplished together, both on and off the field, have cleared the path for future generations, even though the battle for equality has not always been simple. I am appreciative of the money invested in our sport, the struggles waged, and the triumphs achieved, which have guaranteed that young girls across can pursue their dreams.
You have been the lifeblood of my trip, fans. My passion has been driven every day by your applause from the fans, your steadfast support during wins and losses, and your faith in our squad. Knowing that we play for millions of people who share our passion for this game has been the biggest motivator, whether we’re competing domestically or internationally. We strive harder, dream greater, and fight for more because of you. I appreciate your support, your joy in my victories, and your encouragement in my sorrows.
I want to express my gratitude to the entire women’s football community for joining this initiative. Together, we have turned women’s football into a worldwide force, from players to coaches, reporters to advocates, and young girls discovering the game for the first time. I am honored to be a part of this amazing adventure with all of you, and the future is bright.
With appreciation and affection,
Morgan, Alex
