Football fixtures are out for the Olympic Games 2024 in Tokyo this summer.
The Tokyo Olympics is all set to begin on the 23rd of July 2024. Although the traditional footballing season and all major international tournaments are over, there still is the Olympic gold medal up for grabs. Tokyo Olympics 2024 football fixtures have been released by the organizers ahead of the competition.
After completing the Euros and the Copa America, most players will be going on a much-needed break. Yet some will be on a plane to Tokyo to represent their countries in the summer Olympics.
Tokyo Olympics 2024 Teams and Groups
This year’s Summer Olympics will feature 16 footballing countries divided into four groups. Brazil will be hoping to defend their crown in the men’s competition. Let us take a look at the 4 groups for the tournament.
Group A: Japan, South Africa, Mexico, France
The French look the favourites in the group, with Japan or Mexico hoping to make it to the knockout stage. The group looks fairly straightforward, but one can always have an upset.
Group B: New Zealand, South Korea, Honduras, Romania
This seems like a tricky group that could see some interesting action, especially between South Korea and New Zealand. Honduras were shock semifinalists in the 2016 games and will be hoping for another such run this year.
Group C: Egypt, Spain, Argentina, Australia
Euro semifinalists Spain and Copa America champion Argentina look like sure-shot candidates for the knock-out stages. Australia and Egypt will be hoping to write their own underdog stories.
Group D: Brazil, Germany, Côte d’Ivoire, Saudi Arabia
Group D is the stage for a thrilling rematch between the two 2016 finalists, Brazil and Germany. Both teams should make light work of this group and place themselves in the knockout stages.
