US Women's Soccer Team Aims for Olympic Glory Under New Coach Emma Hayes in 2024 Paris Games

The 2024 Paris Olympics will mark the return of women's soccer to the Olympic Games after a brief absence. The US Women's National Team (USWNT), led by new coach Emma Hayes, is aiming for its fifth gold medal in this prestigious tournament. However, expectations should be tempered as the team faces stiff competition from other nations.

The USWNT will begin their campaign against Zambia on July 25 in Group B. This will be the first-ever meeting between these two teams. Zambia qualified for the Olympics by defeating Morocco in a playoff during the April international window. Barbra Banda, who plays for Orlando Pride, has been instrumental in their qualification with 12 goals in 12 games since her debut.

The USWNT roster will be without Alex Morgan for this tournament. Key players returning include Alyssa Naeher in goal, Lindsey Horan and Crystal Dunn as midfielders, and Carli Lloyd as a forward. All three have previously won Olympic medals with the team.

Group stage matches will take place from July 25 to July 31. Semifinals are scheduled for August 6, while the medal round (bronze and gold) will occur on August 9 and 10.

The USWNT has a rich history in women's soccer at the Olympics. They have won gold four times, including in Atlanta 1996 where they defeated Norway in the final. However, their last Olympic medal was a bronze at Tokyo 2021.

Emma Hayes took over as coach of the USWNT after Vlatko Andonovski's departure following their disappointing performance at the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 in Australia and New Zealand. Hayes, who previously coached Chelsea FC Women, has been vocal about respecting other teams and not focusing solely on reaching later stages of the tournament.

The USWNT will face Germany and Australia in Group B alongside Zambia. The Olympics will be a test for this team under their new coach as they aim to reclaim their Olympic glory.
