Alex Morgan dropped from USWNT Olympic squad; Sporting community responds

Alex Morgan will not be a part of the 2024 USWNT Olympic roster, a decision that has disappointed many fans. Mackenzie Salmon shares the news that Morgan will not be traveling to Paris for the Olympics, marking the first time since 2008 that she will not be competing in the Olympics.

The United States Women’s National Team announced on June 26 that Alex Morgan will not be on the roster for the 2024 Paris Olympics, a surprising development for the veteran player. Morgan, a two-time Olympic medalist, has been a crucial part of the USWNT’s success, helping the team secure a gold medal in 2012 and a bronze medal in 2021. She has also played a key role in the team’s victories at the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2015 and 2019.

Despite her impressive track record, Morgan’s absence from the Olympic roster has left many fans disappointed. She has been struggling to score goals during the 2024 NWSL season, failing to find the net in eight matches with the San Diego Wave. This lack of goal-scoring success is concerning, especially considering her performance in the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup where she also failed to score in pool play.

At 34 years old, Alex Morgan is approaching her 35th birthday on July 2. While her age may be a factor in the decision to leave her off the Olympic roster, fans are still disappointed to see such a talented player sidelined for the upcoming games.
