The 2024 Summer Olympics are underway, and bettors are enthusiastic about backing their favorite women’s soccer teams.
The USWNT has punched its ticket to the quarterfinals and now the Americans are second on the board at +160 to win it all.
The road to the quarterfinals for the U.S. included wins over Zambia, Germany and Australia.
Spain is first on the board at +150. To secure its spot in the quarterfinals, Spain defeated Japan, Nigeria and Brazil.
On the American side, Emma Hayes was named Team USA’s new coach back in November. In one of her first major decisions, she selected an 18-player roster, which excluded longtime veteran Alex Morgan.
While Spain goes for gold, it’s also worth noting that August marks the one-year anniversary of the country’s World Cup victory.
Can it strike Paris-gold in 2024 like it did in Australia in 2023?
Let’s dive into the odds via DraftKings Sportsbook.

FOX Sports soccer analyst Laken Litman wrote about Hayes and the USWNT as they prepared for Paris.
“This will be a massive opportunity for Hayes, coaching in her first major tournament as the USWNT’s head coach,” Litman noted. “In her selection, she included eight players from the 2021 Olympics team, 10 from last summer’s World Cup squad, as well as four who have never represented the U.S. in a major tournament.”
Litman also explained that Hayes is “ushering in a youth movement,” as the USWNT’s average is 26.8 (30.8 was the average age of the Olympic squad that competed in Tokyo in 2021).
