The official roster for the 2024 Olympic Women’s Soccer Team was announced on Wednesday. The team includes eight players who competed in the 2020 Olympics and 10 players from the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.

The Olympic team was announced by Emma Haynes, the head coach for the U.S., Women’s National Team.

“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 in a press release.

The retuning 2020 Olympic players (which was postponed in 2021 because of the pandemic) include goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher, defenders Tierna Davidson, Casey Krueger, and Emily Sonnett, midfielders Lindsey Horan, Rose Lavelle and Catarina Macario and forward Crystal Dunn.

Horan and Dunn have the most Olympic appearances coming into the tournament with 10 each.

There is a total of 18 players plus alternates on the women’s Olympic team.
Joining Naeher as goalkeeper includes Casey Murphy, and other defenders include Emily Fox (Arsenal FC, ENG; 49/1), Naomi Girma (San Diego Wave FC; 32/0), Jenna Nighswonger (NJ/NY Gotham FC; 9/2), and Emily Sonnett (NJ/NY Gotham FC; 91/2).

Midfielders who also are named to the Olympic team are Korbin Albert (Paris Saint-Germain, FRA; 11/0) and Sam Coffey (Portland Thorns FC; 17/1). The forwards on the team are Trinity Rodman (Washington Spirit; 38/7), Jaedyn Shaw (San Diego Wave FC; 14/7), Sophia Smith (Portland Thorns FC; 48/19), Mallory Swanson (Chicago Red Stars; 92/34).

Goalkeeper Jane Campbell, midfielder Hal Hershfelt, midfielder Croix Bethune, and forward Lynn Williams are to serve as alternates.

At the 2020 Olympics, a 22-year-old Davidson was the youngest player on the roster. Going into Paris 2024, the youngest player is 19-year-old Jaedyn Shaw.

The women’s team is set to get together on July 8 in New Jersey before going head-to-head against Mexico for the Impact 99 Legacy Match on July 13 at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, N.J.

The team then will play in the 2024 Send-Off Match, presented by Coca-Cola, on July 16 against Costa Rica at Audi Field in Washington, D.C.
