The United States women Olympics 2024 squad is targeting gold in France this summer, after a tumultous few years.
It's all change for the USWNT, too, with Emma Hayes in charge of the team for her first tournament. After winning seven league titles and seven domestic trophies during her 12 years at Chelsea, the Englishwoman steps into her first role in international management - and there's plenty of pressure on her to deliver.
After the USA's most-recent permanent manager, Vlatko Andonovski, failed to progress past the last 16 at the 2023 World Cup, Hayes comes in looking to get them back to winning ways. Her first four games have gone well, too, winning three and drawing once in friendlies in preparation for the Olympics.
Hayes has made a huge decision in leaving out Alex Morgan of her 18-player squad for the Games, though, which will be the first major tournament for the United States without Morgan since the 2008 Olympics.
Still, there's plenty of experience in the United States women Olympics 2024 squad, with midfielders Lindsey Horan and Rose Lavelle joined by forward Crystal Dunn and goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher on more than 100 caps for the national team. Unlike men's football at the Olympics, women's teams don't have a cap on the age of players or their experience levels.
This should stand the United States in good stead, especially as they look to get back to winning ways in France this summer. Since women's football was introduced at the Olympic since 1996, the United States have won four of the seven tournaments, as well as picking up a silver and bronze medal on separate occasions.
In France, they will face a difficult group stage, however, with Zambia, Germany and Australia awaiting them. There are just three groups, so two of the three teams finishing in third place will progress to the quarter-finals.
