After 17 incredible years, Alyssa Naeher has announced her retirement from professional soccer. For over a decade, sheā€™s defended our goal, led our team as captain, and shown us time and again why sheā€™s one of the greatest to ever do it. Thank you for everything and congratulations, Alyssa! šŸ‘ A legend of the game. A legend of our city. Forever a Chicago Star. šŸ©µāœØ šŸ“°: chicagostars.com/first-team/ā€¦
