The Paris Olympic Games will feature a 12-team women’s football tournament, with three groups of four teams. The top two teams from each group will advance to the knockout stage, along with the two best third-place teams on points earned from group play.
Who is in Group A at the Paris Olympics?
Group A includes hosts France, defending gold-medallists Canada, Colombia, and New Zealand. Despite earning automatic qualification as hosts, France would have qualified as the second European team as runners-up in the 2024 UEFA Nations League.
