The 2024 Olympic football tournament begins this Wednesday, July 24. And the draw for the women’s and men’s draws did not make the task easy for the French team. Find the opponents of the Blues, the schedule and all the results.
The French women’s and men’s football teams are in the running to possibly win a medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics. As the host country, France will be one of the favourites in both tables, particularly the men’s table. In the rest of the competition, we will also be keeping an eye on Spain (Group C), silver medallist in Tokyo in 2021, Argentina (Group B), led by Manchester City centre-forward Julian Alvarez, and why not Japan (Group D) who finished 4e from the latest edition at his home.
For this football competition at the Paris Olympics, Alexandre Lacazette, OL striker, will be the captain of the Blues. The latter clearly displayed the ambitions of the group. “We all have the same ambition, that of going all the way and winning a medal, declared the captain. The fact that it is at home will really motivate us,” he declared ahead of the Olympic tournament. The latter explained that Thierry Henry wants the team to play an attacking style of football based on possession: “he wants us above all to have fun and to put on a show for the spectators.”
For the women’s team, adversity will be faced from the start of the competition. The teamHerve Renard indeed inherits particularly difficult opponents from the group stage, with an opening against Colombia, before facing the Canadians, reigning Olympic champions, and New Zealand. For the coach, it will be necessary to “be careful and focused”, while the tight format of the competition, with only 12 teams, pits favorite teams against each other from the first matches.
