We’re just five days away from Seattle Reign’s jersey retirement match for Megan Rapinoe. A celebration of Rapinoe will be held at Lumen Field during the Reign's match against the North Carolina Courage on Aug. 25, at 10 p.m. ET.
Rapinoe is one of just three players to wear the Reign crest from 2013 through 2023. She will also be the first player in club history to have her jersey retired.
“I have lived so much life in this jersey and I'm humbled to see it retire alongside me. It represents so much more than myself - a team, a city, and a lifetime of memories," Rapinoe said in a statement. "Thank you to the Reign and to my teammates for the love, the support and the opportunity to leave a piece of my heart on the field."
In celebration of the Reign back in action, and No. 15 being part of the Reign franchise forever, let’s honor five of Rapinoe’s most impressive stats with the Reign.
1. Rapinoe has made many assists
