Lindsey Horan will be the next No. 10 for the United States women’s soccer team.
Carli Lloyd revealed she will pass the number to her teammate upon retirement via a message on Instagram:
“Seems fitting as we celebrate your [100th] cap to also pass the #10 to you @lindseyhoran10. Could not be more proud of the player you have become and the player you continue to push yourself to be. You are an amazing human being. Never change. I am so honored to pass the 10 to you when I say goodbye on 10/26. Wear it with pride every second you take the field. I will always be with you. I’ll be your biggest fan forever! Love ya my friend.”
Horan recently made history by scoring in her 100th game with the national team during a win over New Zealand:

She is behind only Canada’s Christine Sinclair and the United States’ Abby Wambach and Mia Hamm. Lloyd is also a two-time World Cup winner, a two-time Olympic gold medalist and two-time FIFA Player of the Year.
Those will be big shoes to fill for Horan.
