Kristine Lilly

Kristine Lilly is one of the most decorated players in the history of international soccer. Over a remarkable 23-year career with the U.S. Women’s National Team, she earned 354 caps — the most international appearances of any player in the world. A two-time World Cup Champion (1991, 1999) and two-time Olympic Gold Medalist (1996, 2004), she helped set the standard for excellence and consistency in women’s sports.

At the University of North Carolina, Lilly won four NCAA national championships, before going on to help launch professional women’s soccer in the U.S. with the Boston Breakers. Inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame, she remains a respected leader, coach, and advocate for the growth of the game.
