United States Soccer announced its 2024 Paris Olympics roster for the United States Women’s National Team (USWNT), and one name is notable for its absence on the list of 18 people. The USWNT will head to France without forward Alex Morgan, a 14-year veteran of the squad who was a co-captain as recently as a friendly match in early June.

Morgan’s 224 caps are the most among active American players, as are her 123 international goals, with the latter ranking fifth in USWNT history.
