Per the above, Campbell and Macario are not on the official Team USA roster of Olympians. And this notes the specific difference we've been discussing--are they now Olympians or did FIFA/IOC simply make using an alternate easier? This seems to confirm it's the latter:

I'm now listed them as alternates

FWIW, I am extremely confident we'll see the three outfield players on matchday rosters, and fairly confident that at least one of the alternates will see the field. Jane Campbell is nearly certain not to see the field, and #2 keeper Adrianna Franch is very unlikely to play, either. That's just the nature of backup keepers in a big tournament. But if just getting on a matchday roster is enough to get you Olympian status and to get you in line for a medal if the team wins one, then I bet Vlatko will have Jane Campbell back up Alyssa Naeher in the New Zealand match, where we're least likely to see dangerous forwards coming forward in our group matches.

A lot of that depends on how we do against Sweden in the first match, though. Collect all three points with a win, and Vlatko has more freedom to make substitutions and get the four alternates on the matchday roster for New Zealand. Fail to beat Sweden, and we have to have our absolute best 18 ready to go against New Zealand and Australia, and then obviously in the knockout stages. So, if you're starting against Sweden, you don't just have the hopes of the country on your shoulders--four of your teammates might not get medals if you don't secure that win. (I'm confident we'll see at least Macario and Lynn Williams on a matchday roster at some point no matter how we do against Sweden.)
