The highly-anticipated draw for the Men’s Olympic Football Tournament has been completed and the groups have been announced.
Paris 2024 host nation France will play the first game of the tournament against the United States on 24 July after both nations were drawn in Group A. The match will take place two days before the Opening Ceremony. France's only Olympic football title was won on U.S. soil 40 years ago at Los Angeles 1984.
Two-time Olympic champions Argentina were drawn in Group B where they will face off against Morocco, Ukraine and the third-placed finisher in the upcoming 2024 AFC U-23 Asian Cup. Barcelona 1992 champions Spain will play in Group C while Paraguay, Mali and Israel will meet the 2024 AFC U-23 Asian Cup champions in Group D.
The draw began at 20:00 CET on Wednesday (20 March) and was conducted by FIFA Director of Tournaments Jamie Yarza and Chief Women’s Football Officer Sarai Bareman, alongside former Côte d'Ivoire striker Didier Drogba, ex-Canada goalkeeper Stephanie Labbe, Olympic gold medallist for Argentina Javier Saviola and three-time Olympic gold medallist for France Marie-Jose Perec.
