Sam Mewis, Key Player in 2019 Women’s World Cup, Announces Retirement

Mewis' Legacy as One of the Best Players in the World Revisited as She Moves to Lead New Women’s Soccer Vertical at Men in Blazers

Sam Mewis, a key player in the U.S. team that won the 2019 Women’s World Cup, announced her retirement due to ongoing knee and ankle injuries.
Mewis was a do-everything midfielder who put in a nearly faultless 467 minutes as the United States left France with its fourth Women’s World Cup title.
Mewis' career is now being revisited in light of its abrupt end, with many considering her one of the best players in the world at any position.
Mewis moved to Manchester City in 2020 and made 32 appearances in all competitions, scoring 16 goals, before returning to the North Carolina Courage in 2021.
In her post-playing life, Mewis is leading a new women’s soccer vertical at Men in Blazers, which includes reuniting with Lynn Williams for select content.
