Women's Football Qualification to Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024

I still can't believe that Brazil won't play in men's competition...

 

But I think it can be a hug opportunity for our team to reach the medal, or maybe, the dreamed gold medal. We are not favorite at all, but this coach is very nice, and he is improving our football. I think we had luck at the draw, the group isn't too difficult.

Pretty big update on substitutions: unlike tournaments prior to Tokyo, substitute athletes are allowed to be substituted in and out of the roster on a match per match basis. Which means that even if there is a minor injury or illness a player from the main roster can be substituted for one match then returned.

 

Any player that is on the roster for any match is eligible for a medal.

 

Previously if a player was replaced by a substitute they could not come back for the entire tournament.

 

...honestly at this point they might as well count the traveling alternates as part of the roster, like they started doing for ice hockey.

It's a way for sport federations to get around the athlete quota limit.

 

Funny enough, for football the athletes don't even stay at the athlete's village so a team of 22 players vs. 18 won't make a difference.
