The 2024 Paris Olympics will give the U.S. women's soccer team a chance to begin a new chapter, goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher said, as the four-time gold medallists look to regain their supremacy on the global stage.

The U.S. slipped to an all-time low fifth on the FIFA rankings after its worst Women's World Cup showing in 2023, when the team exited in the Round of 16.

The Americans hope to reverse course in Paris, with new coach Emma Hayes at the helm after winning her seventh Women's Super League crown with Chelsea, and get back to the top of the podium for the first time since 2012.

"We've talked this whole year about looking towards the future and turning the page and having this new identity and moving forward," Naeher said. "This is the start of that."

The U.S. will play warm-up matches against Mexico and against Costa Rica, before opening its Olympic campaign against Zambia on July 25, in a competitive Group B that also features Germany and Australia.

Naeher, who helped the U.S. win bronze in Tokyo, said that fans can expect a team hungry for the challenge.

"With Emma in here and the full new staff and the roster being set, I think now this is the opportunity to officially kind of move in that forward direction. And this is the first tournament for that," she said. "You can feel the energy."
