Katie Lampson (née Stengel) is hanging up her boots, as the two-time NWSL champion announced her immediate retirement from professional soccer.
Lampson earned titles with Gotham FC in 2023 and 2025, alongside two NWSL Challenge Cups and two European trophies throughout her 12-year career.
“Soccer has been my guiding light for the last 30 years,” said Lampson. “It presented opportunities to see the world, meet lifelong friends, and grow as a person.”
Lampson’s resume showcases stints across three different continents, appearing in 163 matches across five different clubs while tallying 21 goals, eight assists, and nine game-winners.
“My career took many unpredictable turns, reminding me to accept my lack of control,” Lampson continued. “I’m most proud that I learned to find an internal motivation and confidence amongst the chaos.”
