Heather O'Reilly Elected to National Soccer Hall of Fame in First Year of Eligibility

Posted Nov 13, 2025
Heather O'Reilly, who debuted at age 17 in 2002, might have made the 2003 FIFA Women’s World Cup Team if not for a broken leg. Once she recovered, however, she became a vital member of the USWNT and one of the winningest players in history. O'Reilly will be honored May 1, 2026, when she is inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame. (National Soccer Hall Of Fame)
