Megan Rapinoe and Christine Sinclair both began their careers in the Rose City as members of the championship University of Portland Women’s soccer teams. Megan Rapinoe has become the face of the United States Women’s National Soccer Team as she led the squad to a resounding victory in the Women’s World Cup in France in July, 2019. The team is poised to take on the world again in the upcoming Summer Olympics. Beyond her matchless skill and leadership on the soccer pitch, Ms. Rapinoe has led the charge for equal pay for women in her own sport, for support for women’s sports in general and for racial, gender and economic equity and justice for all people.
