Teaming Up With Megan Rapinoe, Alex Morgan Unveils Plans for Breanna Stewart’s ‘Unrivaled’, Post Retirement

The legendary Alex Morgan retired from soccer and looked to venture into new avenues post-retirement. She is a smart investor and with Sue Bird, Chloe Kim, and Simone Manuel, she started the brand ‘Togethxr,’ aiming to believe in equal rights for women in sports. Similarly, Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier started ‘Unrivaled’ to change the landscape of women’s professional sports.

Thus, her firm Trybe Ventures, got together multiple investors to invest in ‘Unrivaled’. Likewise, Megan Rapinoe, Steve Nash, Michelle Wie West, and Cleveland Cavaliers GM Koby Altman joined hands with Morgan to invest in this new venture aiming to create a difference in the basketball world.

So discussing this matter, Alex Morgan appeared in ‘A Touch More’ podcast of Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird to explain this exciting venture they were about to start.

Alex Morgan details the fascinating Unrivaled tournament!

Alex Morgan stated, “Hopefully most people right now, if not, Unrivaled is the new 3-v-3 league that is played in the offseason. So, WNBA players don’t have to go abroad. You can talk about this more, I’m sure. So, we got a chunk of the allocation from the rounds that they were raising. Unrivaled is raising to get funding for this league. And, we got a chunk of that. We are so happy that you brought in P.”

When you look at the sport, Unrivaled remains a professional women’s basketball league that aims to change the landscape of women’s professional sports. Launching in January 2025, there will be six teams with 30 top basketball players from women’s basketball worldwide in a 3-on-3 match. Meanwhile, it will be on a compressed full-court style of play.

Morgan continued, “We brought in a lot of other athletes as well. And you know there are some other big names in the VC world. That is all brought under Trybe, which is our family office – Trybe Ventures. On the other side of that, we also have the first fund. We’re actually finishing the fundraising part of it and starting to actually deploy capital, which is really exciting. So, just me and Servando are doing this in real-time.”

The competition’s founders have a proper plan to expand the WNBA’s success by starting this new venture. They want the players to have greater financial packages because mostly their income comes from off-court sponsorships. But with this tournament, they can ensure better deals for the players to compete during the off-season.

The WNBA has come alive with players like A’Ja Wilson, Caitlin Clark, and Breanna Stewart putting them on the map. Therefore, they need a platform to showcase their success, and the Unrivaled comes as a tournament to expand their horizons. Hopefully, Alex Morgan and Co. can make a difference in the women’s basketball scene.
