The last time the U.S. Women’s national team was seen at a high-level global tournament, the results were disappointing in a Round of 16 exit at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup. The favorites struggled to generate offense winning only one match in the group stage and scoring just four goals in four games under Vlatko Andonovski. New coach Emma Hayes is now charged with getting the USWNT back to the top of the podium on the international stage.
Leading the charge for the USWNT are four veterans with more than 100 caps, midfielder Lindsey Horan (150 caps), forward Crystal Dunn (149 caps), goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher (106 caps) and midfielder Rose Lavelle (106 caps), three of whom were on the 2019 World Cup winning squad. Team USA, along with Zambia, Germany and Australia comprise Group B at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
