The USA 2024 Olympics squad will want to achieve something no other men's football side from the nation has managed: wear a medal around their necks.
Since the 1992 Olympics, the USA have entered every qualification phase for the Games, but the best finish they've only managed is fourth, at the Sydney Olympics in 2000. A medal, therefore, of any colour, would certainly be a welcome one.
Paris will also be the United States' first Olympics since 2008, despite their continued attempts to qualify. There's certainly pressure on manager Marko Mitrovic, alright. The Serbian boss joined the United States Soccer Federation in 2022, working first as the U19 coach before stepping up to the U23 side a year later.

He has assembled a side capable of performing strongly this summer, making Walker Zimmerman, a 43-cap senior international, his captain, alongside fellow established stars in Miles Robinson and Djordje Mihailovic. The trio are the USA's three overage players; Zimmerman and Robinson are both defenders, while Mihailovic is a creative attacking player.
The USA 2024 Olympics squad also contains Gabriel Slolina, a goalkeeper who spent last season on loan at Belgian side Eupen from Chelsea, as well as the highly-rated Kevin Paredes.
Hosts France will be their first opponents, with games against New Zealand and Guinea to follow. Reaching the quarter-finals will be their minimum expectation.
