The illustrious careers of Megan Rapinoe and Ali Krieger will each end on the same field on Saturday, at Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego, California, the site of the 2023 National Women's Soccer League championship. The match-up between Rapinoe's OL Reign and Krieger's NJ/NY Gotham FC could be the league's most high-profile game yet, with a championship-record crowd possible and a large global audience expected to tune in for the primetime matchup.

The stage set in San Diego is a far cry from the forgotten early days of each player's club career.
