The Men are more paranoid that FIFA will withdraw the separate recognition for the four nations.

Well, that and the Olympics is actually important in women’s football, unlike in men’s football.

The men should be U21

The same situation applies in hockey and rugby sevens where one of the home nations is nominated to qualify on behalf of Great Britain who then select from all the home nations if successful.

The Olympic Tournament is an U23 event, not an U21

Scotland player will not be elegible for the Great Britain NOC rules

Yes they will. Team GB will be able to select players from all four constituent parts of the UK if they wish. There will almost certainly be some Scottish players in the team.

Although Hockey have sorted this for the Pro League this year for qualification

Extremely happy England / GB qualified. It was a travesty that they weren’t able to send a team in 2016, and this very much feels like a small bit of justice.
