U.S. women’s national team star Ali Krieger told CBS Mornings on Thursday that she is retiring from professional soccer at the end of the National Women’s Soccer League season.
“This is the right time for me,” Krieger said on Thursday morning. “I’ve given so much to the game, and I’ve gotten a lot in return. But I feel it. My body also feels it.”
Krieger has made over 100 appearances for the women’s national team over the last decade, and plays for Gotham FC of the NWSL.
