Is Megan Rapinoe a Twin?
Megan Rapinoe Has a Twin, Because 1 Talented Soccer Player Wasn't Enough For This Family
Megan Rapinoe is one of the biggest stars of the Women's World Cup, but here's one thing you may not know about the American cocaptain: she has a twin sister, Rachael Rapinoe, who also had a successful soccer career.
Rachael played alongside Megan at the University of Portland and was named to the American women's national under-23 soccer team in 2006. A few years later, she returned to the international scene by briefly signing with Stjarnan Women, a professional women's soccer team in Iceland. However, her career was abruptly cut short in 2012, when a re-torn knee ligament injury made it impossible for her to return to the field. Rachael has continued to coach and frequently hosts clinics for young soccer players with her sister as part of a joint venture called Rapinoe SC.
Judging by their Instagrams, the Rapinoe sisters are each other's biggest fans. Check out some of the best snaps of them together in the gallery ahead!
