The World Cup and Olympic star was arrested after failing multiple sobriety tests, according to police.
Wambach, 35, was pulled over shortly after 11 p.m. local time after failing to stop for a red light, Portland Police announced Sunday in a statement.
After observing "signs that she was under the influence of alcohol," the officer gave Wambach sobriety tests, and later a breathalyzer test, both of which she failed, police said.
Wambach was handcuffed and booked into the Multnomah County Jail.
Police said she was released after processing, adding that she was "polite and cooperative throughout the investigation."
