Krieger retired from professional soccer at the end of last season, having racked up a total of 25 appearances in her final year at NJ/NY Gotham FC in the National Women's Soccer League. However, the USWNT legend, who grabbed over 100 caps for her country, will be back in action this June after confirming that she's set to take part in TST 2024.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Ali Krieger is NOT DONE YET‼️ Two time World Cup Winner, <a href="https://twitter.com/alikrieger?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@alikrieger</a> has announced that she will be playing with US Women at TST this June!

WHAT HAPPENED?

The first ever edition of The Soccer Tournament (TST) took place last summer, with teams from across the world, including <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-back-united-states-2024-tst-event-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-men-s-women-s-teams/bltf9efa5bfac375cf8#cs52aadf9e35ce96a0" target="_self">Wrexham,</a> competing in the 7-a-side tournament for a cash prize of $1 million. It was announced last year that the 2024 edition of the tournament will also feature a women's division with the same prize for the winner, so Krieger and co. will have a real incentive to make it all the way.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Speaking to <a href="https://twitter.com/TST7v7/status/1776061458570178991" target="_self">ESPN</a> about the tournament, Krieger said: "I'm so excited! Heather O'Reilly is putting a team together of mostly former national team players... I don't know if I'm gonna be the only defender, I've only seen a lot of the attacking players so I think my job's gonna be cut out for me! But I'm so happy to enjoy myself for a few days. I told her I'm only signing up if we win, so no pressure!"

WHAT KRIEGER SAID

From what Krieger's interview suggested, TST pioneer Heather O'Reilly is putting together a very strong team for the women's edition of the competition this summer, packed full of illustrious former pros with experience in the world's best tournaments. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/tst-is-back-the-soccer-tournament-launches-eight-team-women-s-tournament-usd1m-prize/blte5b249396a74566e#cs04bd54f3bb25f876" target="_self">Taking place in Cary, North Carolina</a>, the eight-team format will be a welcome addition to the season for many US soccer fans.
