Alex Morgan will not be a part of the 2024 USWNT Olympic roster, as Mackenzie Salmon discusses in a recent report. This marks the first time since 2008 that the Olympics will be without Morgan’s presence on the field.
Unfortunately, Morgan’s absence from the 2024 Olympic roster has disappointed fans and observers alike, who were looking forward to seeing her compete on the world’s biggest stage. At 34 years old, Alex Morgan will celebrate her 35th birthday on July 2nd. Despite her remarkable career and contributions to women’s soccer, she will not be representing the United States at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
The United States Women’s National Team announced on June 26 that Alex Morgan would not be heading to Paris for the Olympics next summer. This surprising decision means that the veteran striker will be staying home in July. Morgan is a two-time Olympic medalist, having won gold in 2012 and bronze in 2021. She has also played a crucial role in the USWNT’s victories at the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2015 and 2019.
Despite her recent struggles to score goals in both the NWSL and the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, it is unclear what led to this surprising decision by USWNT coach Jill Ellis and her staff. Many fans are left wondering if this is truly farewell for Morgan or if she will have another chance to represent his country again in future tournaments.
