Zoe Thompson agrees NIL deal with Nike at 14

A family name that already carries weight

The Thompson surname already means plenty in the women’s game.

• Alyssa Thompson is reported to be playing for Chelsea FC as an attacking threat.
• Gisele Thompson is reported to be with Angel City FC as a defender.
• The update says both older sisters have also reached the senior United States setup.

That matters for Zoe because this is not just about marketing. It is about visibility, expectation and the reality that younger siblings are often judged before they have had the chance to build their own identity. Zoe’s own words cut through that neatly: “Ser a irmã mais nova pode trazer pressão, mas também me dá confiança. Mostra que essas oportunidades vêm do trabalho que fiz.”

Zoe’s path looks deliberate

What stands out most is that her route appears measured rather than rushed.

• She is set to begin at Harvard-Westlake High School in Los Angeles.
• The report says she has played for Tudela FC, Legends FC and Santa Clarita Blue Heat.
• She was also reportedly called into the U.S. under-15 national team in the spring.

That profile hints at a modern American prospect: academy-level environment, early national-team exposure, and commercial interest arriving before a professional debut.

Patience may be the key

The most encouraging detail is that Zoe reportedly does not plan to turn professional before finishing high school. In an era that often pushes young players forward too quickly, that sounds smart. The next storyline is obvious now: how she handles her first high-school season, and whether this family’s remarkable football climb has another chapter waiting just ahead.
