USA Women’s National Team announce squad for Paris Olympics 2024
Alex Morgan is left out of the final squad.
Emma Hayes, head coach of the USA Women’s National Team, has announced the final squad for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, which consists of 18 players and four alternates.
Ten players from the USA’s 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup team were nominated to the final squad for Paris, while just eight players from the 2020 Olympic team—which were forced to play in 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic—make a comeback this summer.
“Making an Olympic roster is a huge privilege and an honor and there is no denying that it was an extremely competitive process among the players and that there were difficult choices, especially considering how hard everyone has worked over the past 10 months,” said Hayes.
“Choosing an 18-player roster plus alternates involved many considerations, but I am excited for the group we have selected and I’m looking forward to building on the work from last camp as we head into the Send-Off matches and then onto France. These are great opportunities for us to continue to show the progress we are making.”
