San Diego Wave FC and the Leichtman-Levine Family announced today that two-time World Cup Champion and former Club captain Alex Morgan has joined the Wave as a minority investor, taking an equity stake in the organization she helped launch as a player just three years ago. 

“San Diego is where I’ve built my home, where I am raising my children, and found a purpose beyond my playing career,” said Alex Morgan. “I believed in Wave FC before a single match was played, and I still believe this Club has the power to change the future of women’s sports. I’m proud to invest in that future and not just as a player, but now as an investor.”

Morgan retired from her professional soccer career on September 8, 2024, as San Diego Wave FC’s all-time leading scorer and assist leader, with 28 goals and 11 assists. In the Club’s inaugural season, she won the NWSL Golden Boot with 16 goals, leading San Diego to become the first expansion team in NWSL history to qualify for the playoffs.
