The USWNT failed miserably during the last Summer Olympics. However, coach Emma Hayes’ determination to get the team back on top is certainly something that makes the US side one of the top contenders for the title this year. In this article, you’ll read more about the USWNT Olympics schedule, where the games will be played, and who the US opponents are.
Which group is the USWNT in for Paris 2024?
In order for the team to win a historic fifth Olympic gold, coach Hayes’ girls would have to escape the difficult Group B. The USWNT will have to battle the likes of Australia, Zambia, and Germany to advance to the next stage of the competition:
- Australia
- United States
- Germany
- Zambia
During the last Summer Olympics, the US couldn’t win the trophy. The CANWNT was the one to be titled the best, as they managed to produce a top-notch run in the entire 2020 Summer Olympics.
Historically speaking, the USWNT is playing well against Australia and Germany, and Zambia is not really a serious threat to Hayes’ ambitions. We are sure that the USWNT will be able to escape group B, maybe even win it.

BTTS is the way to go here, as both sides will be eager to prove they are the ones who deserve to win Group B more. USWNT’s last official game prior to the start of the Summer Olympics ended in a 0-0 tie against Costa Rica, but we are sure that coach Hayes is determined to fix the issues in attack sooner rather than later. And seeing as the USWNT Olympics schedule will only get more difficult, we are sure the US gals will give their best to make the fans happy.

Australia vs USWNT – early tip
Draw or USWNT is what we will likely see in the last group-stage game for coach Hayes’ side. The US team did well in recent matches versus Australia, so we should see them avoid defeat at all costs. If they want to advance to the knock-out phase of the competition, they mustn’t let their guard down, as Australia is no joke of a team either.
