The San Diego Wave FC player led the USWNT to its fourth World Cup championship in 2019, the same year as her SI Swimsuit debut.

Abby Dahlkemper can rock a bikini just as well as she rocks her San Diego Wave FC kit. She made her SI Swimsuit debut in 2019, the same year she helped lead the U.S. women’s national team to its fourth World Cup championship and logged the most minutes of any U.S. player during the tournament. 

The 29-year-old is currently recovering from back injury and it is unclear if she will play during the 2023 Women’s World Cup this summer in Australia and New Zealand.

“I was kind of in disbelief because Sports Illustrated is such an iconic magazine to be a part of,” she said at the time of her SI Swimsuit photo shoot with Ben Watts. “I was just shocked… and honored and I was really excited about the opportunity to have people get to know me off the field and not in soccer clothes.”

We are completely and utterly obsessed with the results of Dahlkemper’s photo shoot in St. Lucia, and the bikinis she wore are just as incredible. Below are eight of our favorites.
