Will Alex Morgan play in the 2024 Olympics?
Alex Morgan was not named to the USWNT for the 2024 Paris Olympics. The Games will represent the first major tournament for the USWNT without Morgan since the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
"Today, I’m disappointed about not having the opportunity to represent our country on the Olympic stage," Morgan wrote on social media. "This will always be a tournament that is close to my heart and I take immense pride any time I put on the crest.
"In less than a month, I look forward to supporting this team and cheering them on alongside the rest of our country. LFG."
