Megan Rapinoe will be courtside for two of Caitlin Clark's opening WNBA games, with the retired USWNT legend claiming she is 'a real fangirl' of the former Iowa superstar.
Clark was recently selected by the Indiana Fever with the first overall pick of the 2024 WNBA draft after a 'bonkers' rise that has seen her become one of America's biggest stars.
Rapinoe, who retired last year after 203 appearances for the USWNT, was at the Final Four earlier this month, when Clark's hopes of winning a national championship were dashed by South Carolina.
Nearly 19million people tuned in to see Dawn Staley lead the Gamecocks to a third NCAA title. It was the latest evidence of how women's college basketball had hit new heights.
'Being at the Final Four was incredible,' Rapinoe said at the Business of Women's Sports Summit in New York. 'It felt like it was what the game deserved and what I think fans of women's sports really deserved'
