Alyssa Paolo Thompson is a professional soccer player who plays as a forward for Angel City FC and US women’s national team.

During high school, she played for Harvard-Westlake School. However, she could not play during her junior season due to her commitment to the National team.

The 21–year-old was offered a three-year deal by the Angel City FC on January 12, 2023. She accepted the deal and is now part of the team. 

The young soccer star has recently been selected for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup to represent her country, the US.

Alyssa and her sister were stars of their high school Harvard-Westlake and are significantly impacting USA Soccer.

At ages 17 and 16, respectively, Thompson and her sister Gisele have become the first high school athletes to get a deal with Nike.

Following her elder sister, Gisele has achieved standout success on the U-17 Women’s National Team. She is part of the 2023 Concacaf Women’s U20 Championship.

Alyssa Thompson: Parents and Family

Alyssa, Gisele, and their sister Zoe were born to Mario and Karen Thompson.

Mario Thompson went to Occidental College, where he was on the basketball team. The athleticism runs in the family but in different sports.

From a very young age, Mario realized the potential his daughters have in the sport. Therefore, he was practicing them against greater players than them.

As the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup is less than a week away, Netflix is planning to shoot the US Women’s soccer team’s world cup journey.

This team also has Alyssa Thompson on their roster, which is a proud moment for the Thompson family.
