Football at Olympics 2024: Schedule, matches, bracket, results for men’s and women’s soccer in summer Paris Games

The 2024 Summer Olympics are finally here as Paris hosts the competition from late July to early August. Football is always a significant event, with a condensed tournament for both men’s and women’s teams drawing viewers from around the globe.

As per Olympic regulations, the men’s tournament will feature a predominantly youth squad, limited to players under 23 years old (born on or after January 1, 2001) plus three designated over-age players. There is no age restriction on the women’s squads.

Thanks to the European Championships and the Copa America taking place just weeks earlier, convincing superstars from either Europe or South America to participate in the Olympics as an overage player can be difficult, as the physical strain from such a congested fixture list is extreme, and those full international competitions are usually prioritised.

France will see both their men’s and women’s sides participate, given automatic qualification as hosts, while the United States, Spain, and New Zealand were the only nations to have qualified competitively for both competitions.

The Sporting News brings you all the latest scores and results from the men’s and women’s tournament.
