Not only does this year's NWSL championship mark the end of the season.
It also marks the end of the careers of USWNT legends Megan Rapinoe and Ali Krieger.
Rapinoe's OL Reign takes on Krieger's NJ/NY Gotham FC to take the title. Both teams have the opportunity to win their first championship before the veterans leave the beautiful game for good.
Gotham FC made it to the final after beating defending champion Portland Thorns and Sophia Smith in the semifinals, 1-0. They were the sixth, and lowest, seed in the playoffs. The OL Reign reach the match as the fourth seed after winning, 1-0, against Alex Morgan and the San Diego Wave FC.
No matter who captures the trophy, four-time WNBA champion Sue Bird will win. She is engaged to Rapinoe and is part of the ownership group of Gotham FC. The former Seattle Storm star made a joke on social media that she needs a split jersey a la NFL mom Donna Kelce for the big game.
