Alex Morgan knows how to keep the spotlight on her, even after hanging up her cleats. The former U.S. women's national team star sent social media into overdrive with a World Cup-themed swimsuit photo that has fans absolutely losing it.
The legendary forward, who retired a couple of years back, has been soaking up every moment of the 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup. She's been spotted in the stands, cheering on the U.S. squad, and recently attended Monday night's Round of 16 clash between the U.S. and Belgium. Unfortunately, it wasn't a happy ending for the Americans, who fell 4-1. But Morgan still turned heads in a patriotic outfit, writing, "Having the most fun 🤪" on social media.
But it's not just her game-day looks that have people talking. Morgan previously went viral—and sent fans into a frenzy—with a swimsuit photo that perfectly blends soccer and World Cup vibes. The shot, part of her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit shoot in St. Lucia, is seriously sporty and has fans obsessing.
"I could watch her all day," one fan wrote. "Stunning as always," another shared. "What a woman," added a third. And one simply said, "Insane." The reaction has been nothing short of electric, proving that Morgan's star power hasn't dimmed one bit since her playing days ended.
The photo captures Morgan in a sleek, patriotic swimsuit, lounging by the water with a soccer ball nearby—a perfect nod to her legendary career and the current World Cup excitement. It's the kind of image that reminds everyone why she's been a fan favorite for so long.
Morgan's presence at the World Cup has been a bright spot for U.S. soccer fans, even as the men's team bowed out early. The tournament continues Thursday with a quarterfinal matchup between France and Morocco, but the buzz around Morgan's swimsuit snap isn't fading anytime soon.
It's worth noting that Morgan isn't the only soccer legend making waves during this World Cup. Carli Lloyd also turned heads with her appearance at the tournament, shutting down a troll who criticized her for attending while pregnant. And let's not forget the fashion statements from other stars like Sofia Vergara, who stunned in World Cup gear before Colombia's heartbreaking exit.
For now, though, all eyes are on Morgan and that swimsuit photo. It's a reminder that even in retirement, she remains a force—both on and off the field.
