Who Won the U.S. Presidential Debate?

With a star-studded lineup and some of the world’s best teams, the women’s Olympic football competition in Paris will be like a mini World Cup for fans.

Less than a year after the global breakout success of the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia, a good number of that tournament’s best players will be back; this time, the global football epicentre will be Paris Olympics 2024 with 12 teams fighting for the gold medal.

World champions Spain is among the favourites to taste glory, even though the team will make its Olympic debut in the French capital, while perennial heavyweights the United States will be looking for redemption after suffering their worst-ever World Cup result.

Team USA’s neighbours Canada are the defending Olympic champions after they did the unthinkable at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, defeating highly-favoured Sweden in the gold medal match. Disappointingly, the Swedes will not take part in the Paris 2024 Olympics after failing to qualify.

Joining them on the absentees list will be the United Kingdom, who couldn’t secure an Olympic berth through the inaugural Women’s Nations League.
