Spain Women will be looking to make it back-to-back wins at the start of the 2024 Summer Olympics when they face Nigeria Women in Nantes on Sunday.
La Roja may be competing in their first-ever Olympics, but they will have high hopes of adding a gold medal to the World Cup trophy they won last year.
They kicked off their hunt for an Olympic gold medal with a hard-fought come-from-behind 2-1 victory over a decent Japanese side and now face a Nigerian team that suffered a slender 1-0 loss to Brazil last time out.
