In an exciting announcement, the U.S. Women's National Team (USWNT) has revealed their starting lineup for the highly anticipated match against Mexico at the Olympics 2024 in Paris. The lineup features a blend of experienced players and rising stars, combining skill and determination as they aim for victory on the international stage.

Captain Alyssa Naeher, who recently showcased her heroics in the 2024 SheBelieves Cup final, will lead the team for the second time in her career. This match holds special significance for Naeher as she will be honored for her 100th cap prior to kick-off. With 105 international appearances under her belt, Naeher's leadership and experience will be invaluable for the USWNT.

Also grabbing attention is Emily Fox, who will earn her 50th cap for the USWNT. At only 26 years old, she becomes the second-youngest defender in the last decade to reach this milestone. Fox has been a consistent presence on the field with eight starts already in 2024, firmly establishing herself as a key player in the team's defensive line.

Naomi Girma, the reigning U.S. Soccer Female Player of the Year, will earn her 33rd cap as she continues to impress on the international stage. Girma's performances at the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup raised expectations, and she will look to carry that momentum into the Olympics as one of the team's nine first-time Olympians.

Trinity Rodman is another exciting talent poised to make an impact, with her 39th cap and 29th consecutive appearance for the USWNT. Rodman's consistent displays on the field, including three assists so far this year, have cemented her place in the team's starting lineup and highlight her ability to create opportunities for her teammates.

Mallory Swanson, in excellent form with the Chicago Red Stars, looks to continue her goal-scoring streak as she makes her fifth appearance for the USWNT in 2024. Swanson has an impressive record against Mexico, finding the back of the net in three of her last four outings against them. Her attacking prowess will be crucial in unlocking Mexico's defense.

Lindsey Horan, the most-capped player on the 2024 U.S. Olympic Women's Soccer Team, will make her 149th appearance for the USWNT. With six goal contributions against Mexico throughout her career, Horan's influence in the midfield cannot be underestimated. Her experience and versatility will be vital in shaping the team's attacking plays.

Sophia Smith, the reigning NWSL Golden Boot winner, will seek to continue her goal-scoring form as she makes her fifth start of the year. Smith has enjoyed a three-game goal contribution streak, providing both goals and assists. Her relentless drive and ability to find the back of the net have made her a formidable attacking threat.

Tierna Davidson, heading to her third world championship with the USWNT at only 25 years old, adds depth and stability to the team's defense. With 59 caps to her name, Davidson brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the backline. Her consistent performances have made her a reliable fixture in the starting lineup.

Rounding out the lineup, Jenna Nighswonger, Rose Lavelle, and Sam Coffey showcase their talents and determination on the international stage. Nighswonger, earning her 10th cap and making her first appearance at a world championship, represents the bright future of the USWNT. Lavelle, fresh off goals in consecutive games for NJ/NY Gotham FC, brings creativity and dynamism to the midfield, while Coffey's strong performances earn her the second-most starts on the team in 2024.

With an average age of 26.6 and an impressive average of 63 caps per player, the USWNT's lineup for the clash against Mexico promises a thrilling contest at the Olympics 2024 in Paris. As they step onto the field, these talented individuals and their collective strength will aim to secure a decisive victory for the United States.
