Football at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Women's tournament

The women's football tournament at the 2024 Summer Olympics will be held from 25 July to 10 August 2024. It will be the eighth edition of the women's Olympic football tournament. Together with the men's competition, the 2024 Summer Olympics football tournament will be held at seven stadiums in seven cities in France. The final will be held at Parc des Princes in Paris. There are no player age restrictions for teams participating in the competition.

Schedule
The schedule is as follows.

Qualification
In addition to host nation France, eleven women's national teams qualified from six separate continental confederations. The Organising Committee for FIFA Competitions ratified the distribution of spots at their meeting on 24 February 2022.

Sweden, the runners up of the 2016 and 2020 Olympic tournaments, failed to qualify for the 2024 tournament after being eliminated in the group stages of the UEFA Women's Nations League.

Squads
The women's tournament is a full international tournament with no restrictions on age. Each team has to submit a squad of 18 players, two of whom must be goalkeepers. Each team can also name a list of four alternate players, who can replace any player in the squad in case of injury during the tournament.

Match officials
On 3 April 2024, FIFA released the list of match referees that would officiate at the Olympic Games.

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

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 Rankings released on 15 March 2024 (shown in parentheses below). No group could contain more than one team from each confederation.

Notes

Group stage
The competing countries were divided into three groups of four teams, denoted as groups A, B, and C. Teams in each group play 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).

Tiebreakers
The ranking of teams in the group stage will be determined as follows:


 * 1) Points obtained in all group matches (three points for a win, one for a draw, none for a defeat);
 * 2) Goal difference in all group matches;
 * 3) Number of goals scored in all group matches;

Knockout stage
Unlike in the group stage, if a match is level at the end of normal playing time in the knockout stage, extra time is played (two periods of 15 minutes each) and followed, if necessary, by a penalty shoot-out to determine the winner.
