Alyssa Naeher has hung up her gloves for good. The decorated goalkeeper confirmed her retirement from professional football, bringing the curtain down on a career studded with silverware and record-breaking moments.
Naeher earned 115 caps for the US women's national team, collecting a 2015 World Cup winners' medal and striking gold at the 2024 Olympics. Her ability to deliver in high-stakes moments made her one of the most dependable shot-stoppers in the history of the programme.
At club level, Naeher spent over a decade with Chicago Stars FC, where she became the franchise's longest-serving player and captain. She departed holding every major goalkeeping record in the club's history - regular-season appearances, starts, saves, and clean sheets all belong to her, as CBS Sports reports.
Named 2024 US Soccer Female Player of the Year, Naeher's influence stretched far beyond the penalty area. Her composure under pressure and quiet leadership set a standard that will be difficult to replicate - both in Chicago and on the international stage.
Few goalkeepers leave the game with a CV this complete. Naeher can.
