Christine Sinclair played her final professional match Saturday night, capping off a career that saw the Canadian superstar win three professional league titles, an Olympic gold medal and finish with the most international goals, men or women, in soccer history.
When Christine Sinclair left Sunday’s National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) game between the Portland Thorns and Gotham FC, it signalled the end of her storied playing career, one that saw Sinclair soar to soccer stardom not only in Canada, but professionally and on the international stage.
Sinclair’s career accomplishments include:
• Olympic gold medalist for Canada in 2020
• Two-time Olympic bronze medallist in 2012 and 2016
• 2012 Olympic Golden Boot, as the tournament leading goal scorer
• 2012 Lou Marsh Award winner as Canadas top athlete
• 14-time Canada Soccer Player of the Year
