It's time for some soccer!
It’s time for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup! The beautiful game world kicks off its biggest tournament this week on July 20th in New Zealand and Australia.
The Women’s World Cup is one of the biggest sporting events in the world for queer athletes. This year, over 100 players and coaches in the World Cup are queer.
32 teams will be competing for the title in the tournament, which lasts until August 20th. While we have plenty of favorite queer players on many of the teams, the US Women’s team holds a special place in our hearts, and has since they burst into the spotlight in 1999.
Here’s this year’s US Women’s roster, and where you can follow them on Instagram!
Megan Rapinoe
Rapinoe, who is a lesbian, is one of the greatest players in US Soccer history and this will be her final World Cup.
Alyssa Thompson
At just 18, Thompson is the youngest player on the US roster.
