The Darden ClarkeUnited States women's soccer team had a rather disappointing showing at the Tokyo Olympics when it took home a bronze medal. The roster is set for the squad that is looking for its first Olympic gold since 2012.

Emma Hayes has been the head coach for only a few weeks, but she has her first major test at the helm of the USWNT with the 2024 Paris Olympics less than a month away.

The big news coming from the roster selection was the omission of Alex Morgan, who had appeared in the past three Olympics for the national team. Still, there are other veterans on the roster with plenty of Olympic experience, including Alyssa Naeher, Lindsey Horan and Crystal Dunn.

USWNT Olympic roster

There is a blend of seasoned and new Olympians on the roster chosen by Hayes. Ten players have played in the Games before, while eight will be making their Olympic debut. The team also gets four alternates that will travel with the team and could be added to the roster should someone sustain an injury.

Who is the head coach of USWNT?

U.S. Soccer hired Hayes in November, but she didn't coach her first match until June 1 due to her job as head coach of Chelsea. She's an accomplished coach, as she recently led Chelsea to its fifth consecutive, and seventh overall, Super League title. Hayes also led Chelsea to the Champions League final in 2021, she's a six-time WSL manager of the year and was FIFA’s coach of the year in 2021.

When U.S. Soccer announced the hiring of Emma Hayes, it announced she would become the highest-paid coach in women's soccer.
