Alex Morgan will not be competing for gold at the Olympics in Paris in 2024. The footballer was noticeably absent from the new roster of 18 players for the US national team.
«Today I am disappointed that I won’t have the opportunity to represent our country on the Olympic stage», - wrote 34-year-old Alex on her Instagram on Wednesday, June 26. «This tournament will always be close to my heart, and I proudly wear our crest».
However, when the Olympics begin in Paris next month, Alex promised to be the biggest fan for the star-studded group of players. «In less than a month, I will eagerly support this team and cheer for them along with the rest of our country», - continued the founder of TOGETHXR. «LFG».
Throughout her career, Alex has won a gold medal at the 2012 Olympics and a bronze medal at the 2020 Olympics. In addition to being a member of the US national team, she also plays for San Diego Wave FC.
Earlier in the day, head coach Emma Hayes named the roster of 18 players and four reserves for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Eight players who were part of the US team at the 2020 Olympics, including Crystal Dunn, Casey Krueger, and Emily Sonnett, made the list, while 10 participants from the US team at the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 were included in the final roster for Paris.
«Making it to the Olympic roster is a huge privilege and honor, and there is no doubt that it was a very competitive process among the players and that there were tough choices, especially considering how hard everyone has worked over the past 10 months», - said 47-year-old Emma in a press release. «The selection of 18 players plus reserves involved many considerations, but I am pleased with the group we have chosen and look forward to continuing the work from the last camp as we head into matches before departure and then to France. These are great opportunities for us to continue to show the progress we are making».
At the 2024 Olympics in Paris, the US will play against Zambia on July 25 — a day before the opening ceremony. Then the Americans will face Germany on July 28, continuing their quest for gold. All sporting events will be available on NBC channels
