Hope Solo will join the ladies of The View on Thursday’s show, along with her Dancing with the Stars partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy. The View airs on ABC at 11am ET and 10am PT/CT.

Hope Solo has been chosen to be in the cast of the 13th season of Dancing With The Stars. The show airs on ABC on Mondays and Tuesdays at 8pm/7pm Central, and this season premieres on September 19.

Dance partnerships have not yet been announced.

After the announcement, Hope released the following statement to her fans:

Thanks everyone for your support. I’m excited for this challenge but most importantly to try and raise awareness for women’s soccer. Go big or go home!

Despite the television commitment, Hope still intends to play in the USWNT friendly matches on September 17 and 22.

US Soccer has released the roster for the September USWNT games versus Canada, and Hope Solo is among those scheduled to appear with the team. The first game is in Kansas City on September 17, and the second is in Portland on September 22. Tickets are still available for both games, and both will be televised.

Hope, who is still recovering from shoulder surgery, is planning to play in both games. She will also be honored before the Portland match for having earned her 100th cap during this summer’s Women’s World Cup.

U.S. Women’s soccer star Hope Solo is looking for a few good running partners to jog with when she and teammates Abby Wambach and Alex Morgan run in the Bank of America Chicago Marathon in October.

Thirteen applicants will be chosen to run two-mile legs each of the 26.2-mile race. The soccer players have not yet decided how many miles each will run.

The soccer trio, who thrilled the nation with a second-place finish in the World Cup last month in Germany, are participating in the marathon’s “Let’s Run Together” charity campaign.
