The NWSL has come waltzing back into our lives. The league had a picture-perfect start during their season opener, with KC Current beating Portland Thorns in a high-scoring affair. With the stage set, fans will expect players to deliver in the coming games with all eyes on USWNT superstar Alex Morgan as she looks to revitalize her career with the San Diego Waves. The thirty-four-year-old still has a lot in her tank and will be eager to showcase that in front of a sold-out American crowd!

Alex Morgan has been among the flag-bearers of the NWSL, with the player being one of the biggest stars to feature in the tournament. Her paycheck reflects her stature, with Morgan amongst the highest-paid athletes in the NWSL. According to reports, the San Diego Waves star nets a massive $250,000 annually from her contract with the club.

However, Morgan’s paycheck is just a minor part of her annual earnings, with the player’s chunk of revenue coming from multiple brand endorsements. The player is currently contracted with Nike, Coca-Cola, Beats, AT&T, Continental Tires, and Volkswagen, showing her popularity as a public figure.
