Julie Ertz and Megan Rapinoe are heading to the National Soccer Hall of Fame. The pair have been voted into the Class of 2027 and will be formally inducted on 16 April 2027 in Frisco, Texas, as NWSL reports.
Ertz made her name with the Chicago Red Stars after being picked third overall in the 2014 NWSL College Draft. She scooped Rookie of the Year honours that season and went on to earn two NWSL Best XI selections, operating seamlessly as both a centre back and defensive midfielder. On the international stage, she lifted the FIFA Women's World Cup in 2015 and 2019.
Rapinoe joined Seattle Reign FC for the NWSL's debut campaign in 2013 and never left, racking up 11 seasons, 54 goals in 126 appearances, and three NWSL Shields. A two-time World Cup champion with the USWNT, she also collected multiple individual accolades. Beyond the pitch, Rapinoe became one of the sport's loudest voices for equality and inclusion in women's football.
