United States faces South Africa in a women’s international friendly on Sunday, September 24, 2023 (9/24/23) at Solider Field in Chicago, Illinois.
CINCINNATI — Two-time Women’s World Cup winner Julie Ertz played her final match for the United States, an emotional 3-0 victory over South Africa in an exhibition on Thursday night.
Following the game, Ertz took a lap around the field to applaud fans, many of whom held signs reading “Thank You Julie.”The teams play again on Sunday at Soldier Field in Chicago. That match will be the last for Megan Rapinoe, who is also retiring. “Julie has been a mainstay ever since she got on this team. She took her chance in 2014, 2015 and ran with it, and honestly she’s been one of the most important players for this team over the last decade,” Alex Morgan said. “She’s going out on her terms, and I’m just really happy for her.”
It was uncertain whether Ertz would return to soccer before she was named to the World Cup team. The two-time U.S. Player of the Year nursed a knee injury before helping the U.S. win bronze at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, then took time off for the birth of her son last year.
