2024 Olympics: Women’s football kicks off after first-day chaos

Grand Slam record-breakers Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal were placed on a second-round collision course as the draw was made for the tennis competition at Roland Garros.

The Spanish women’s football team are appearing at an Olympics for the first time, led by 2023 World Player of the Year Aitana Bonmati, and faces Japan.

Scandal-hit reigning champions Canada play New Zealand without their coach Bev Priestman after incidents of spying on their opponents’ training sessions with drones.

Canada’s assistant coach and an analyst were dismissed from the Olympics for their part in the incidents and the analyst was given a suspended eight-month prison sentence by a French court.

Priestman apologised to New Zealand and said it would not be appropriate for her to be on the bench on Thursday.
