Argentina will take on Morocco in the group stage of the Olympics at the Geoffroy-Guichard Stadium on Wednesday. They are in Group B, alongside Iraq and Ukraine.
Argentina will be hoping to repeat their success from the 2000s, having won the Gold medal in 2004 and 2008. They finished third in the group stage and were knocked out in the last two editions of the tournament and will be desperate to improve that run. It must be noted that the squad will be missing big names like Lionel Messi as national teams will be sending their U-23 squads to participate in the Olympics. Three overage players are allowed but Messi has been rested.
Morocco have never gone above third position in the group stage whenever they have qualified, and this will be their opportunity to script history. Here GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.
