Alyssa Thompson speaks to reporters during the 2023 Women’s World Cup media day for the United States Women’s National Team in Carson last Tuesday.When Olivia Moultrie was just 13, her family moved from California to Oregon so she could train with the Portland Thorns.
The league is now welcoming others who followed the 17-year-old’s lead after adopting new rules for players under 18 to join the league last year. “Obviously, I’m super excited that we now have that equal opportunity, the same as they have in Europe, the same as they have in MLS,” Moultrie said. “I just think that will continue to evolve the women’s game, and at the end of the day that’s what we all want.”
Thompson developed her skills playing for the under-17 Total Futbol Academy boys’ team in MLS Next and scored in her Angel City debut.Thompson also caught the eye of U.S. senior team coach Vlatko Andonovski, who included the high schooler on his roster for a pair of European matches last year — including a match against England at Wembley Stadium. Thompson, then 17, played as a substitute in the waning minutes of the game in front of a sellout crowd of 76,000.
