“Representing my country and donning the U.S. Soccer crest has been among the greatest honours of my life,” said O’Hara, who currently competes for defending NWSL champions Gotham FC.
“I am filled with gratitude as this chapter of my existence draws to a close. “As I reflect on my career, I am filled with gratitude not only for the accomplishments I attained but, more significantly, for the individuals with whom I shared those achievements.”
