Ali Krieger is the perfect choice for Gotham FC's Club Ambassador

Ali Krieger might have only spent her final two seasons with NJ/NY Gotham FC, but she became a fan favorite. Supporters loved the captain and how she played with all of her heart. More importantly, she helped the Bats win their first NWSL Championship last season. The NWSL title was the defender's first and final one.

It was incredible that Krieger ended her playing career on a high. Since her retirement, she has kept busy. She has been a part of CBS Sports and ESPN soccer coverage. She has been an analyst and studio host. Recently, she has been cohosting the ESPN show, Futbol W. The newer show focuses on women's soccer news and coverage, expanding the reach of the sport.

Krieger remains committed to the beautiful game, and it is not surprising she has not left the sport entirely. Moreover, while her career focuses on TV, she will still be a part of Gotham FC.

Ali Krieger is the new Club Ambassador for Gotham FC

On Thursday, the club announced the former captain is the "first-ever Club Ambassador, creating an impactful role for the legendary former player and team captain, focused on supporting the club in its ambitious growth objectives." This illuminates how much Krieger means to the Bats and the team to her. Her impact in two short years was immense, and this is a spectacular achievement and honor.

According to Gotham, Krieger will focus on enhancing the club's profile in the local market, ideally expanding the reach of the team and the fanbase. She will act as a connection to the fans and the front office. The former player will also do events and act on behalf of the Bats.

It is unknown what impact she will have, for this is the first time Gotham has done this. Nevertheless, Kreiger is the perfect person for the ambassador role. Again, she is loved by supporters and is a major part of the club's history. She also has the perfect personality to engage with fans and nonfans alike, for she is full of personality and passionate about the club.

She has also been a fantastic role model on and off the pitch. Young players who have played with Krieger have been able to learn so much. She was also someone they could turn to with any questions about the game and being a professional. Fans all over the NWSL could look up to her since she was not only a great player, but she is a great person as well.

Krieger is the perfect choice for the Club Ambassador. Gotham FC made the right decision by picking her after the impact she has had with the team and NWSL overall.
