Alex Morgan has joined the investor group for the San Diego Wave, the National Women's Soccer League team she played for before retiring from professional soccer.

The Wave announced Tuesday that the two-time Women's World Cup winner has rejoined the club as a minority stakeholder.

"San Diego is where I've built my home, where I am raising my children, and found a purpose beyond my playing career," Morgan said in a statement. "I believed in Wave FC before a single match was played, and I still believe this Club has the power to change the future of women's sports."

Morgan announced she was retiring after a 15-year career in professional soccer last September, when she was pregnant with her son Enzo, who was born last month. A crowd of 26,516 filled San Diego's Snapdragon Stadium for Morgan's farewell match.

Morgan was among the first players signed by the Wave after the club joined the NWSL in 2021. She went on to play 63 matches with the Wave and scored 28 goals, including the team's first.
