Alex Morgan has been left off the United States women's national team's 2024 Olympic roster, marking the team's first major tournament without the star forward since the 2008 Olympics, before she debuted for the team.

USWNT head coach Emma Hayes named her 18-player roster for the 2024 Paris Olympics on Wednesday, calling upon 10 players who participated in last year's World Cup.

Morgan, who turns 35 next week, is not among them.

Morgan's 224 caps and 123 goals are each the most among active U.S. players, and rank ninth and fifth, respectively, in program history.
