Alongside Morgan, Megan Rapinoe also actively stood for women’s equality, and both have truly become notable figures not just for the whole country, but for the world of sports. However, this isn’t the only cause Morgan is working for. With the NWSL set to begin, the 33-year-old gave the latest glimpse of her other work.

The foundation’s goals include increasing equity for women in sports, supporting three San Diego-based businesses, and launching Alex’s Homebreak, a program that brings local girls’ soccer teams to Wave matches, in the 2022 season.

When launching the foundation, she said, “I’ve actually been looking at starting a foundation probably for the last five-plus years, but it didn’t actually come together until a couple of months ago,” said Morgan. With the help of her organization, she aims to motivate and create unlimited opportunities for young girls and women.

Preparations for the NWSL opener continue

It is yet another proud moment for the whole country, as Morgan has done a brilliant job for the community. And now she’ll be looking to lock her eyes on the 2023 NWSL season. The iconic forward will be looking to lead her side, the San Diego Waves, to glory.
