1996 Sixth place
2000 Sixth place
2004 Fourth place
2008 Sixth place
2012 Seventh place
2016 Second place
USWNT
The Stars and Stripes are so far the most competitive team in women's football at national team level. They have won it all and are living a golden generation with athletes who are not only a reference not only on the pitch, but also on the field.
The Americans have won four Olympic gold medals: Atlanta 1996, Athens 2004, Beijing 2008 and London 2012. They also have a silver medal from Sydney 2000. In the last competition in Rio de Janeiro 20016 they surprisingly finished in the quarter-finals in fifth place overall.
For 2021 they look like the favourites
