USWNT Roster Announced for Olympics

Following World Cup Disappointment, Team Looks to Rebound

After a disappointing showing at the Women's World Cup, the United States Women's National Team (USWNT) is looking to rebound at the upcoming Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024. Head coach Emma Hayes has named the 18-player roster, which includes some familiar faces and a few new additions.

The roster features a mix of experience and youth, with several players who were part of the team's World Cup triumph in 2019. Among them are defender Becky Sauerbrunn, midfielder Julie Ertz, and forwards Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan. The team also includes rising stars such as forward Sophia Smith, who scored the game-winning goal in the semifinals of the World Cup.

The USWNT will be looking to improve on their performance at the World Cup, where they were eliminated in the quarterfinals by the Netherlands. The team will face stiff competition in Paris, with the likes of Germany, England, and France also vying for gold. However, Hayes is confident that her team has what it takes to win.
