The women's football tournament at the 2024 Summer Olympics continues with hosts France facing defending gold medallists Canada on Sunday.
The hosts managed to escape from their opening game with a 3-2 victory over Colombia but they were given a scare by the South Americans, whilst a faltering Canadian side unconvincingly came from behind to defeat a poor New Zealand side.

Team news & squads
France team news
Coached by former Saudi Arabia, Morocco and Zambia boss Herve Renard, France will have some concerns despite winning their opening game of the tournament against Colombia 3-2.
The French went into the half-time break with a 3-0 lead but the Colombians rallied well to make it 3-2 and then pushed for an equaliser with some excellent openings but nothing was taken and the hosts eventually had a sigh of relief to take home three points.
Marie-Antoinette Katoto leads the line ahead of Eugenie Le Sommer, with Delphine Cascarino and Kadidiatou Diani manning the flanks.

The defensive trio was anchored by Kadeisha Buchanan, Vanessa Gilles, and Jade Rose. Up front, Cloe Lacasse, Nichelle Prince, and Adriana Leon formed a lively attacking trident, but Jordyn Huitema will be eager to stake her claim for a starting berth.
