The U.S. women hope to put the failures of the 2023 Women’s World Cup to bed and restore themselves to the top of the women’s soccer landscape as they meet Zambia in their opening match of the 2024 Olympics.
They have a daunting challenge in front of them this time around, with a strong group stage followed, if they qualify, by a knockout bracket with even more formidable opponents in store. The USWNT will face a strong challenger in every single match of this competition, including right from the start.
To kick off their group stage schedule, the U.S. will face Zambia, who qualified for last summer’s World Cup and therefore have plenty of experience to bring along. That will be followed by matches against Australia and Germany, with an eye on securing a top two spot in the standings and thereby qualifying for the knockout stage.
Can new head coach Emma Hayes turn the USWNT’s fortunes around, or will they earn another dose of reality from the rest of the women’s football world?
