USWNT star Tobin Heath announces retirement

United States women’s national team legend and two-time World Cup and Olympic gold medalist, Tobin Heath, has announced her retirement from professional soccer on her podcast, ‘The RE-CAP Show,’ at the age of 37.

Heath’s decision to retire comes after a series of setbacks, including a knee injury that required multiple surgeries, keeping her out of play since 2022. During her time with the USWNT, Heath made a significant impact, scoring 36 goals and recording 42 assists in 181 appearances for the U.S. since 2008. She was part of the USWNT World Cup teams in 2015 and 2019, and she scored the final goal against Japan in the final match of the 2015 tournament.

In addition to her achievements at the national level, Heath spent some time in France playing for Paris Saint-Germain before returning to the Portland Thorns, where she won two NWSL championships. She then moved to the FA Women’s Super League, playing for Manchester United and Arsenal, until an injury sidelined her. After recovering, she returned to the NWSL and signed with OL Reign, but unfortunately, she faced another season-ending knee injury after playing only a few matches.

Tobin Heath’s life away from soccer

Since Heath has been rehabilitating her left knee, she started a podcast with her former USWNT teammate and current partner, Christen Press, titled ‘The RE-CAP Show.’ This podcast offers an honest, unfiltered, and humorous perspective on global soccer and women’s sports.

Additionally, Heath is the only woman in FIFA’s technical study group, which was formed in preparation for this summer’s Men’s Club World Cup tournament.
