After a successful pair of exhibition games in November of 2023 following a training camp in Atlanta, the USA Basketball Women’s Olympic Team is poised to assemble a stacked roster ahead of the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
The USA Basketball National Team Committee will have its hands full trying to decide what athletes will be part of the 2024 Olympic roster. In the coming weeks, 18 players will attend an additional training camp in New York. A final roster of 12 players will represent the United States at the 2024 FIBA Women’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament on February 8-11 in Belgium.
When the Paris Olympics arrive in July, USA Basketball will be playing for a chance to win its eighth consecutive gold medal.
