The National Soccer Hall of Fame has been requested to be postponed by former United States goalkeeper Hope Solo, who is currently in an alcohol treatment programme.
The 40-year-old was arrested in March after she was reportedly found passed out in a car with her twin sons inside.
She won 202 caps for the US, a World Cup and two Olympic gold medals.
My focus and energy are on my health, healing and taking care of my family.
The Hall of Fame supported her decision.
According to a police report, Solo was arrested in North Carolina on March 31st and charged with driving while impaired, resisting a public officer and child abuse.
I have contacted the Hall of Fame and respectfully requested a postponement of my ceremony to the year 2023.
I would like to thank them for their support and for understanding my decision.
Speaking after Solo's arrest, her lawyer Rich Nichols said she "looks forward to her opportunity to defend these charges".
He said she was released and returned to her home.
There was an incident at a training camp in which she was suspended for 30 days.
She was banned from the US team for six months in 2016 for calling Sweden "cowards" and did not play for them again.
