The US Women’s national team is heading to France in an attempt to scoop another Olympics win. It’s important to mention the fact that despite winning on four occasions in the past and becoming the most decorated country, the USWNT haven’t won an Olympic gold since the 2012 Olympics in London. Make sure to browse through our article, as this is where you will find exclusive information about the USWNT Olympics squad.
USWNT Olympics squad – Key stats
- Olympic debut: 1996 – The United States Women’s national team first appeared in the Olympics during the 1996 edition in Atlanta.
- First title: 1996 Atlanta – With the home-field advantage on their side, the US ladies managed to record a historic triumph in front of a home crowd. They became champions in Atlanta for the first time ever, with coach Tony DiCicco being the mastermind behind the success.
- All-time Olympic record: Four-time Olympic champion – No other country competes with the US in terms of Olympic gold. The USWNT won the gold on four occasions – in 1996, 2004, 2008, and 2012. Germany, Norway, and Canada have won the gold only once.
USWNT’ MVP: Mallory Swanson
Swanson already has two Olympic appearances under her belt despite the young age of 26. She is one of the most important players for her country, and we are sure that her name on the USWNT Olympics squad is huge news for the team’s ambitions. For her club Chicago Red Stars, she made a total of 15 appearances this year, scoring seven goals and supplying teammates with three assists.

Emma Hayes has plenty of top-class players under her wing. Let’s see which ones made the cut for the Summer Olympics in 2024.
Goalkeeper
It goes without saying that a team with a top-notch goalkeeper is one that is hard to beat. Seeing as the USWNT have some extraordinary goalkeepers, we believe the team will reach the final stages of the tournament this year.
- Alyssa Naeher (Chicago Red Stars)
- Casey Murphy (North Carolina Courage)
Defense
Coach Hayes is lucky to have some very well-rounded defenders at her disposal. If the USWNT’s backline performs as well as we know it can, we are sure the team will be able to get the desired results in the group stage of the competition, at least.
- Naomi Girma (San Diego Wave)
- Tierna Davidson (Gotham FC)
- Emily Fox (Arsenal)
- Jenna Nighswonger (Gotham FC)
- Casey Kruger (Washington Spirit)
- Emily Sonnett (Gotham FC)
Midfield
The center of the field is where the USWNT are also quite capable of causing mayhem, despite the fact that there aren’t all that many midfielders called up for international duty. Coach Hayes has picked the following players to accompany her to the Summer Olympics in France. Check out the key midfielders in the USWNT Olympics squad in 2024. Rose Lavelle’s name is a particularly pleasant surprise on the list.
- Sam Coffey (Portland Thorns)
- Lindsey Horan (Lyon)
- Rose Lavelle (Gotham FC)
- Korbin Albert (Paris Saint-Germain)
- Catarina Macario (Chelsea)
Attack
Without a doubt in our mind, we can safely say that the USWNT is most adept at scoring goals. Ergo, coach Hayes called so many interesting players for the trip to France. The USWNT’s attack has been performing quite admirably in recent months. After all, Swanson and her colleagues scored in eight of the last nine games in all competitions.
- Crystal Dunn (Gotham FC)
- Trinity Rodman (Washington Spirit)
- Jaedyn Shaw (San Diego Wave)
- Sophia Smith (Portland Thorns)
- Mallory Swanson (Chicago Red Stars)
