Women's soccer at the Games gets underway on July 25 and GOAL has all the information as the 12 nations involved announce their player lists

Emma Hayes' first tournament in charge of the United States women's national team might be the big talking point going into the women's football event at this summer's Olympic Games, but it is Spain that is the team to beat after triumphing at last year's World Cup.

It's an absolutely stacked tournament. Canada is out to defend its Olympic title, Australia comes into the Games after reaching the semi-finals at Tokyo 2020, while heavyweights such as Germany, Brazil and hosts France add even more star power to a tournament that, unlike in the men's game, is a senior – and thus highly valued – event.

It all kicks off on July 25, meaning there is not long to go now and, as such, all 12 nations involved have announced their 18-player rosters. GOAL has all the information you need to know about the squads for the Olympic women's football tournament at Paris 2024…

Australia

Australia was the first nation to announce its Olympic roster on June 4, following a friendly double-header against China. The Matildas will face the United States, Zambia and Germany in the group stages.

Head coach Tony Gustavsson will be without star striker Sam Kerr and exciting young talent Amy Sayer due to devastating ACL injuries that both have sustained.

Brazil coach Arthur Elias named his 18-player roster for the Olympic Games on July 2. His team face Japan, Nigeria and Spain in the group stages. It includes Kerolin, despite her not playing for the North Carolina Courage since October due to an ACL injury, but does not feature Debinha, the Kansas City Current forward, or Manchester United's Geyse.

Iconic forward Marta revealed earlier this year that 2024 would be her last with the national team and so this would be her final major tournament for the Selecao. However, she has since made comments about the 2027 Women's World Cup, to be hosted by Brazil, that suggest she could well continue for a while yet.

Canada head coach Bev Priestman named her roster on July 1 as the North American nation aims to defend its Olympic title. It won't be easy though as the team suffered a shock World Cup group stage exit in Australia and will be without iconic forward Christine Sinclair, who retired last year. Canada will take on France, Colombia and New Zealand in the group stage.

On July 20, Sydney Collins had to withdraw from the squad having suffered a fracture to her leg in a behind-closed-doors match against Nigeria. She was replaced by Gabrielle Carle, with Desiree Scott added to the reserves.

Colombia will hope to get out of the Olympic group stage for the first time this summer when it takes on France, Canada and New Zealand. The South American nation has twice competed at the Games but fallen at the first hurdle on both occasions. Angelo Marsiglia named his roster for the tournament on July 5, which contains top talent such as Chelsea star Mayra Ramirez and Real Madrid sensation Linda Caicedo.
