Ali Riley Confronts Career Uncertainty Due To Severe Nerve Injury
Speaking at an event promoting girls in sports in Los Angeles, Riley opened up about the seriousness of her condition. “Even now, when I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to play football again, that’s the reality of the injury I have now,” she said. “The lessons I’ve learned, the community that supports me, and where I have honed my skills to do other things that spark joy, I feel like I can still be the best version of myself even if I can’t go out there and play games anymore.”
Riley, who has earned over 160 caps for New Zealand, has struggled to play consistently at any level in recent months. The injury, which she described as “frustrating, confusing, and excruciatingly painful,” has kept her sidelined since her Olympic hopes were dashed.
