The U.S. women's national team roster for the Paris Olympics is here.
Sophia Smith and Rose Lavelle headline the USWNT's 18-player squad for the 2024 Games which was revealed on June 26.
The Olympics will mark new manager Emma Hayes' first major tournament with the U.S. Hayes just recently became the official manager after coming over from Chelsea in England, and she led the U.S. to two solid wins over South Korea in consecutive June friendlies.
But the Paris Games will be a unique challenge. Only 18 players will be allowed to travel, with group games occurring every two days. The U.S. will face Zambia, Germany and Australia in group play.

Will Alex Morgan play in the 2024 Olympics?
Alex Morgan was not named to the USWNT for the 2024 Paris Olympics. The Games will represent the first major tournament for the USWNT without Morgan since the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
"Today, I’m disappointed about not having the opportunity to represent our country on the Olympic stage," Morgan wrote on social media. "This will always be a tournament that is close to my heart and I take immense pride any time I put on the crest.
"In less than a month, I look forward to supporting this team and cheering them on alongside the rest of our country. LFG."
