Squads

edit
Main article: Football at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Women's team squads

The women's tournament was a full international tournament with no restrictions on age. Each team had to submit a squad of 18 players, two of whom had to be goalkeepers. Each team could also name a list of four alternate players, who could replace any player in the squad in case of injury during the tournament.[5]

Match officials

edit

On 3 April 2024, FIFA released the list of match referees that would officiate at the Olympic Games.[6]

Draw

edit

The draw for the tournament was held on 20 March 2024, 20:00 CET (UTC+1), at the Pulse building in Saint-Denis, France.[7][8]

The 12 teams were drawn into three groups of four teams. The hosts France were automatically seeded into Pot 1 and assigned to position A1 while the remaining teams were seeded into their respective pots based on the FIFA Women's World Ranking released on 15 March 2024 (shown in parentheses below). No group could contain more than one team from each confederation.

Pot 1 Pot 2 Pot 3 Pot 4[a]

Notes

  1. ^ Teams from CAF were in the qualifying phase and were not known at the time of the draw, they were drawn originally as CAF 1 and CAF 2.

Group stage

edit

The competing countries were divided into three groups of four teams, denoted as groups A, B, and C. Teams in each group played one another in a round-robin basis, with the top two teams of each group and the two best third-placed teams advancing to the quarter-finals.

All times are local, CEST (UTC+2).[9]

Tiebreakers

edit

  2. Goal difference in all group matches;
  3. Number of goals scored in all group matches;
  4. Points obtained in the matches played between the teams in question;
  5. Goal difference in the matches played between the teams in question;
  6. Number of goals scored in the matches played between the teams in question;

    • Direct red card: −4 points;
