The Best NWSL Social Media Moments of 2023
A picture is worth a thousand words, and 2023 had so many great shots. We love keeping up with our favorite soccer stars and teams on social media. That little bit of game news or a personal life update is a nice break from doom scrolling. This is your year in review of the best social media moments from the NWSL!

Gotham FC had the most insane season in the league. Truly starting from the bottom of their last season and now they are the champions. Watching their trajectory over the course of this year was so fun, and the ultimate payoff of hoisting a championship trophy was the cherry on top.

Speaking of Gotham FC, truly one of the best social media moments of this year came from Defender of the Year and Legend Ali Krieger. To be honest, there are a lot of Krieger moments we could choose from just from the last few months, but announcing the beginning of her lemonade era is the cream of the crop.

Double the trouble! Giselle Thompson, Alyssa Thompson’s little sister, has officially been signed to Angel City FC. This news and the pictures that go with it are heartwarming and exciting for the Thompson and Angel City FC families.

The ads for the World Cup this year were insane, but Rapinoe’s had arguably the best. This ad was everything that this legendary player deserved for her final World Cup, and something that we will never forget.
Preath breaking the internet

This isn’t the first time Tobin Heath and Christen Press have set the internet on fire with a picture, and we’re sure it won’t be the last. Back in 2022, they posed together on the red carpet for the Espys holding pinkies. This may seem inconsequential, but for the fans who have been theorizing and speculating for years over their relationship, this sure felt like a soft launch. Now it seems they’re inseparable on social media!
Retirements everywhere

This year was huge for saying goodbye. Some of the top players ever to lace up for the NWSL announced their retirements. Some were expected, and others were a surprise, but regardless, we got some really heartfelt and sincere notes. So, for maybe the last time, thank you for everything, Rapinoe, Krieger, and Ertz.
