Carli Lloyd

Carli Lloyd

2x Olympic Gold Medalist,
2x FIFA World Cup Champion

A two-time FIFA Player of the Year Award winner and one of the greatest soccer players to ever play the game, Carli Lloyd became a broadcaster less than two years after retiring from the game as one of the all-time legends in U.S. Women’s National Team (USWNT) history.

Carli’s legendary international career spanned 17 years and concluded with 316 caps, good for second all-time in U.S. History and third all-time internationally for both men and women. She represented the U.S. on the pitch across three different decades, including four World Cups, winning two (2015 and 2019) and four Olympic Games (2 Gold Medals and 1 Brozne), and played in more World Cup and Olympic matches than any other player in USWNT history. Carli’s 134 career goals rank third all-time for the USWNT.

Best known for her clutch performances, consistent production and flare in the biggest moments, she became the first player in FIFA Women’s World Cup history to score a hat trick in a World Cup Final (2015). Carli’s accolades also include receiving the most prestigious and highest award in soccer: FIFA World Player of the Year (2015 and 2016); only one other American player has received the award twice.
