His last appearance was more than two years ago. In 2019, the then Reign FC fought for the title of the NWSL with a participation that reached the semifinals, but, at that time, the name of Megan Rapinoe It was not as successful as on other occasions within the contest. However, internationally he did not stop growing as the emblem of the United States National Team and today he returns to the league as a legend.
In that summer, the also wife of the multi-champion basketball player Sue Bird, was one of the most important pieces – if not the main one – for the United States to get its fourth world championship against the Netherlands National Team in France. Even a year later, during the 2020 SheBelieves Cup, Rapinoe made sure that the National Team did not lose its international power by defeating Japan. But those successes were not enjoyed in the same way at the club level, since he changed the Challenge Cup and Fall Series tournaments for an activism against labor and social injustices exposed in a great way in that same year.
It was until 2021 that, after seeing minutes with the USWNT in friendlies for the Olympics, she decided to once again wear the colors of OL Reign and her first appearance was made in a 0-0 draw against the North Carolina Courage. The weirdness of not seeing her score left a thorn in everyone, but he immediately snatched it when, with a free kick, he sentenced his 35th goal on the following day against the Portland Thorns -after more than 1,000 days-.
What does OL Reign look like in the season?
After being knocked out in the Challenge Cup quarter-finals and being one of the worst teams in the Fall Series, OL Reign looks to change the chip with the inclusion of Megan Rapinoe. With their tie achieved on the first day and beating Portland -so far-, those led by Farid Benstiti would be signing four points in just two weeks. Currently, Louisville, Orlando and Gotham share the tip with those same four units already sealed.
