Paris 2024 Olympics squads: USWNT, Spain, Brazil, Colombia & every official women's football tournament roster

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.

  • Marta Brazil 2023Getty

    Brazil

    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.

    Germany

    Germany will be under the interim charge of Horst Hrubesch for the Olympics and he will hope to guide them out of a tricky group that features Australia, the United States and Zambia. The 2016 Olympic champion named its roster on July 3, with Sara Dabritz unavailable due to an ankle injury.

    Lena Oberdorf withdrew from the squad on July 17, having suffered a devastating knee injury just before the Games. She was replaced by Janina Minge, while Pia-Sophia Wolter was added to the list of alternates.

    Japan announced its squad on June 14, ahead of a group stage that sees it face Brazil, Nigeria and Spain. The Nadeshiko could only make the quarter-finals at its home Olympics three years ago but it has enjoyed success in this tournament before, winning a silver medal in 2012.

    Jun Endo and Hikaru Naomoto remain long-term absentees, while Portland's Hina Sugita is not selected. The Paris 2024 squad is not too unfamiliar from last summer's World Cup squad.

  • Michael Mayne New Zealand 2024Getty

    New Zealand

    New Zealand is not in an ideal situation going into the Olympics, with head coach Jitka Klimkova having stepped down from her role ahead of the tournament. She took a leave of absence before the June friendlies against Japan "while an investigation is concluded into an employment related matter", New Zealand Football said in a statement. Despite the results clearing her to lead the Football Ferns at Paris 2024, Klimkova has decided it would not be the right time for her to return "due to concerns in relation to the team environment, her wellbeing, and a restorative process having not been completed".

    Instead, assistant coach Michael Mayne will act as head coach for the Games, at which New Zealand will face Canada, Colombia and hosts France in the group stage. Mayne named his roster on July 4 and had to amend it on July 24 after losing Ali Riley, a key player, to injury. She was replaced by Michaela Foster, with Grace Neville added to the reserve list.

    Nigeria

    Nigeria will be back in the Olympic women's football tournament this summer for the first time since 2008, aiming to get out of the group stage for just the second time. The Super Falcons are in a tough group with Brazil, Spain and Japan but will take confidence from their ability to navigate a similarly tricky task at last year's World Cup, qualifying for the knockout rounds ahead of Olympic champions Canada.

    Head coach Randy Waldrum named his roster for the Games on July 3 and was forced to make a change on July 9, due to an injury picked up by Halimatu Ayinde. Ifeoma Onumonu was added to the 18-player roster and Regina Otu replaced her as a reserve.

    As champions of the 2023 Women's World Cup, Spain is the heavy favourite to win gold in Paris. With a star-studded squad that includes two-time Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas and one-time recipient Aitana Bonmati, La Roja will take some beating.

    Montserrat Tome named her full roster on July 3, having announced a provisional one on June 25. Jana Fernandez, Leila Ouahabi, Inma Gabarro and Maite Oroz were the names cut while Barca star Patri Guijarro made herself available for selection again and was chosen.

    United States

    Emma Hayes only took charge of the USWNT for the first time on June 1 so she did not have much time between digesting those first two games on the sideline and finalizing decisions that saw her whittle down her roster to 18, plus four reserves.

    That squad was made public on June 26, with Alex Morgan the most notable omission. Hayes had to make a unwanted tweak to the list on July 12 due to a knee problem for Catarina Macario, with Lynn Williams replacing her while Emily Sams was added to the reserves. The U.S. faces Australia, Germany and Zambia in group stages.

    Zambia announced a 38-player provisional roster on June 14, which was cut to 22 players, 18 in the squad and four reserves, on July 3. The list features the two most expensive female footballers of all time, in Bay FC star Racheal Kundananji and Barbra Banda, who cannot stop scoring for the Orlando Pride.

    The Copper Queens face the USWNT, Australia and Germany in the group stage of its second successive Olympic appearance.
