Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe and the USWNT stars that have dominated FIFPRO's Women's World 11

The USWNT has had 10 different players named to the FIFPRO Women's World 11, to claim 20 total spots, the most all-time

For much of the 21st century, the U.S. women's national team has dominated on the international level, so it makes sense that they've also dominated FIFPRO's Women's World 11.

There have been plenty of legends that have worn USWNT shirts since FIFPRO introduced the Women's World 11 in 2015, and they've been well-represented. In total, the USWNT has 10 different players named to the squad, to claim 20 total spots, giving them the most all-time. The 2024 FIFPRO Women's World 11 will be revealed next week.

The women's game isn't as American-centric as it once was, as several other countries have caught up in recent years, but this summer's Olympics served as a reminder that the world still has to worry about the USWNT. The foundation and culture is there, and it's been put in place by some of the biggest stars that the women's game has ever seen. GOAL takes a look back, and lists the number of FIFPRO Women's World 11s appearances for each U.S. star.

One of the most dangerous wingers the USWNT has ever seen, Heath made the World 11 in 2020 after helping the U.S. win the 2020 SheBeleives Cup and qualify for the Olympics in Tokyo. In total, she scored two and assisted five in eight USWNT appearances that year.
Additionally, she was fantastic after making her move to Manchester United, where she won WSL Player of the Month in November for the club.

Rose Lavelle's breakout 2019 run saw her earn a place in that year's World 11, and rightfully so. She scored three times in that summer's World Cup, including one in the final, to help drive the USWNT to the biggest trophy in the sport.
During that summer, the then-24-year-old became a household name, earning her place next to three other Americans in that year's World 11.

The fullback recently called it a career, and what a career it was. One of the headlines was, of course, her 2019 World 11 selection as she showed how good she was at the highest of levels.
O'Hara was a key figure during that summer's World Cup run playing in five of the USWNT's seven games, including all knockout games. It was O'Hara's second World Cup win, and her two assists that summer were a huge part of her earning her spot among the world's best in the World 11.

Despite the USWNT's lack of success at that summer's Olympics, Krieger earned a place in the 2016 squad. That summer, she became the oldest first-time Olympian for the USWNT and made 17 total appearances for the U.S. throughout the year.
On the club level, she remained a rock for the Washington Spirit before joining the Orlando Pride in 2017, going on to play at a high level right up until her retirement in 2023 with Gotham FC.

Meghan Klingenberg (1)
The longtime NWSL fullback was a member of the first FIFPRO Women's World 11 back in 2015 after helping guide the U.S. to the 2015 World Cup trophy. She started every match of the tournament for the U.S. that summer, thriving in what ended up being her brightest moment on the international stage.
She went on to join the Portland Thorns in 2016, and has since earned legendary status in the Pacific Northwest due to her near-decade of service.

Megan Rapinoe (2)
A player that needs no introduction.
Rapinoe was voted into the World 11 in back-to-back years, representing the USWNT in both 2019 and 2020. Her 2019 run came on the heels of her legendary World Cup performance, while her play in the SheBelieves Cup and Olympic qualifying booked her spot in 2020.
The USWNT legend's career made her a pop culture icon, and her impact is still very much felt even after her retirement.

Julie Ertz (2)
Whether in defense or at the base of a midfield, Ertz was a vital piece of the USWNT.
She first made the World 11 as a defender back in 2015 when she still went by Julie Johnston, having earned her place during that summer's World Cup run. She was back in 2019 with another World Cup trophy, this time as a midfield selection alongside Lavelle. No matter where she played or what last name you knew her by, Ertz was world-class, which is why she was honored multiple times.

Hope Solo (2)
The USWNT shot-stopper was the goalkeeper selection for each of the first two World 11 teams, and rightfully so. Solo was the best goalkeeper in the world for some time, including during the run to the 2015 World Cup, where she won the Golden Glove for the second time after previously winning in 2011. She was just that good.

Carli Lloyd (3)
After making the World 11 in back-to-back years in 2015 and 2016, Lloyd returned again in 2021, showing off just how long she played at the highest of levels. From her 2015 World Cup heroics all the way to her 2021 swansong, Lloyd was an elite midfield force for the USWNT.
With three appearances, she's level with Nilla Fisher and Christiane Endler for fifth-most all-time. Only one American has more.

Alex Morgan (6)
Only Wendie Renard has more World 11 selections than Alex Morgan, who defined a generation for the USWNT. Named to the team in 2016, 2017, 2019, 2021, 2022 and 2023, Morgan's consistency and longevity is what has etched her name in USWNT lore.
During that time, she won everything a player can win, as an individual and as part of a team, establishing herself among the greatest players of her generation before retiring earlier this year.
