Gisele Thompson Joins Sister Alyssa at Angel City FC
The Thompson Sisters Set to Make History in the 2024 NWSL Season
- Gisele Thompson, younger sister of Alyssa Thompson, has signed a three-year contract with Angel City FC, making her one of the richest high school seniors in the country.
- The contract, which also includes an option year, will reportedly pay Gisele a base salary of about $525,000, in addition to a signing bonus and housing stipend, which are worth another $100,000-plus.
- Gisele's decision to sign before her 18th birthday allowed her to bypass the NWSL draft and choose to play with her sister in Los Angeles.
- Gisele and Alyssa Thompson will make history in the 2024 NWSL season as the second, and youngest, sister duo on the same team in NWSL history.
- Gisele, a U.S. women's national team prospect, had previously received a national letter of intent from Stanford but decided to turn down the collegiate offer to pursue a professional deal.
