Lindsey Horan, the captain of the U.S. Women’s National Team, promises to sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris next month.
While this would not ordinarily seem abnormal, the USWNT has been at the center of controversies in recent years revolving around the national anthem.
“I think obviously it’s an individual choice,” Horan recently told Fox News Digital.

“I think, for me, without getting emotional here, it’s like one of the coolest moments of a soccer game. You’re stepping out, it’s like the moment before you actually go out on the field. You can kinda sit there, and mentally, fully prepare for what you’re about to do. In that moment, I’m singing the anthem and I’m just [like], ‘I’m playing for my country. I’m representing the USA, which is one of the coolest things in the world. I’m representing my family, the fans here in the stands and at home watching.’”
The 30-year-old Horan then spoke about living out her childhood dream on the biggest stage.
