Olympics 2024 squads: USMNT, Spain, France & every official men's football tournament roster

Group A

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry will coach the host nation this year. A 25-man preliminary squad was announced in early June. This will be whittled down to 18 just before the tournament, and the squad includes a host of excellent young players.

The two overage players to make the cut are forwards Alexandre Lacazette (33) and Jean-Philippe Mateta (26), who netted 19 goals and won Crystal Palace’s Player of the Year award at the end of this season.

Other notable inclusions are Michael Olise, also of Crystal Palace, although many big clubs are keen to secure his signature this summer, as well as PSG stars Warren Zaire-Emery and Bradley Barcola, both of whom offer an exciting glimpse into the future of French football.

The full squad is as follows:

*Overage Player

Group A

Guinea head coach Kaba Diawara has named his squad after clinching the final spot at the Olympics following a win over Indonesia in early May.

Getafe forward, Ilaix Moriba netted the winning goal that day and was featured in the lineup for his country as their star man.

The 2024 Olympics represents Guinea’s first tournament since 1968, but they face an incredibly difficult challenge with both France and the USA in their group.

Group A

The All Whites hammered Fiji 9-0 in October to qualify for the Olympics. This marks New Zealand’s fourth entry into the competition in the last five Olympics, only missing out on Rio in 2016 due to fielding an ineligible player.

Darren Bazeley’s squad has been announced. It includes Luis Toomey and Jesse Randall, who featured in the qualification stage.

Group A

Similarly, we’re yet to see Marko Mitrovic’s USA squad announced. However, the friendly against Japan that happened on June 11 gave us a good glimpse into the possible 18-man squad. The U.S. men’s Olympic soccer squad fell 2-0 to Japan in their final match before the Paris 2024 roster is named.

Walker Zimmerman is the only overage player to make the squad, after missing out on the Copa America squad due to injury, while we can also expect to see Kavin Parades of Wolfsburg and LA Galaxy’s Jalen Neal.

The 25-man squad for that Japan fixture and the Under-23 camp is:

*Overage Player

Group B

Former Barcelona and Liverpool star Javier Mascherano will lead the Argentinians at the Olympics this summer, having knocked out Brazil. Mascherano has now named his provisional squad for this summer's Olympic football tournament; however, he has yet to name his overage players.

It’s unlikely we’ll see the big name stars in the team, with Lionel Messi focused on the Copa America, while the same is the case for players such as Angel Di Maria. Enzo Fernandez and Alejandro Garnacho both also don’t make the cut despite being under the age of 23. Both of whom are, however, in the preliminary Copa America squad.

The full provisional squad for Argentina is as follows:

Group B

Iraq secured Olympic qualification with a bronze medal at the AFC U23 Asian Cup, defeating Indonesia 2-1 in extra time. Radhi Shenaishil has announced his squad, featuring many of the players who starred in the competition.

Ridha Fadhil will lead the line for the nation, with the Amanat Baghdad star scoring six goals in 16 appearances for the Under 23s, while Al-Talaba players Zaid Tahseen and Karrar Saad also remain mainstays in the team. Ali Jasim is another to keep an eye on, having netted nine in 13 for his nation.

Group B

Morocco first appeared in the 1964 Olympic games and has enjoyed eight appearances since then. However, they have been unable to go beyond the Second Round, and despite a promising young squad, it’ll be difficult once again.

Manager Tarik Sektioui has yet to confirm his 18-man squad for the tournament, but his squad for friendlies against Belgium and Kosovo pre-tournament gives a solid indication of who we’re likely to see. Like Argentina, there are currently no overage players in that, so as well as being cut down, we may also see some late additions.

The squad for the pre-Olympic friendlies is:

Group B

Ukraine has plenty of exciting young talent at the moment, but for Olympic coach Ruslan Rotan, pickings are a little slimmer, with seven of the Euro 2024 squad being aged 23 or below, including rising star Heorhiy Sudakov, Chelsea’s Mykhailo Mudryk and Bournemouth defender Illya Zabarnyi.

Prior to the Olympics, the Under-23 team will play in the 2024 Maurice Revello Tournament, which has four fixtures. The Olympic squad will largely consist of those selected, cut down to 18.

Group C

Former Athletic Bilbao star Ibai Gomez takes the Dominican Republic football team to the Olympics for the very first time this summer. He’s yet to select his squad, but there are several faces we expect to see, many of which are plying their trade on Spanish soil.
Gomez has recruited the likes of Oscar Urena, Edgar Pujol and Rafa Nunez for his Paris 2024 squad. Full details of the Dominican Republic Olympics squad are below:

Group C

Even though they couldn’t secure Mohamed Salah, Egypt's football team is starting their Paris 2024 journey led by ex-Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny.

Making their 13th Olympic appearance in men’s football, with their best performance being fourth place in Tokyo 1964, the team features some good young talent with great potential, and we could see them go far this year.

Group C

There’s a new generation of Spanish stars coming through the ranks, with the likes of Nico Williams, Lamine Yamal, Pedri, and Fermin Lopez all in the winning Euro 2024 squad. Boss Santi Denia has officially picked his squad for the Olympics, and it's a strong one for sure.

Joining Alex Baena, Fermin Lopez is one of the two players from Spain's Euro 2024-winning team going to the Olympics. The 21-year-old winger played just once for Luis de la Fuente's team in Germany, but he's heading to the Olympics with his Barcelona teammates Pau Cubarsi and Eric Garcia.

Group C

Completing Group C is Uzbekistan, which will face Spain in its first match on July 24. Head coach Timur Kapadze, who earned 119 caps for his home nation, has officially selected his Paris 2024 squad.

The Uzbekistan football Olympics squad features the likes of Lens defender Abdukodir Khusanov, CSKA midfielder Abbosbek Fayzullaev, and Khusayin Norchaev, who’s netted 11 goals in 24 appearances for the Uzbekistan Under 23s.

Group D

Israel hasn’t qualified for soccer at the Olympic Games in almost five decades. Guy Luzon will take the reins in the dugout, and we’d expect to see many of the under-21 squad in that team.
There has been no indication of who will make the squad, alongside any overage players, but there’s a good chance the likes of Idan Gorno, Suf Podgoreanu, and Stav Lemkin, all of whom have full caps for their country, will make the squad.

Group D

Japan has a Silver and Bronze medal in football and will be keen to qualify from the Group Stage this time around. While a full squad hasn’t been confirmed, 24 players have been called up for friendlies with the USA prior to the Olympics, with that then likely to be cut to 18 for the Games.

The squad for the friendly fixtures are:

Group D

Mali is expected to do well at the Olympics, with the nation’s sports minister believing they could medal. The Eagles beat Guinea to qualify last summer, and some excellent players on that team will likely be selected again.

The nation also finished third in the last Under-17 World Cup, with names like Hamidou Makalou and Ibrahima Diarra potentially in contention for a place after winning the Silver Ball and Silver Boot, but manager Fanyeri Diarra isn’t going to rush them into a more senior level of football.

Group D

Finally, Paraguay joined Argentina in taking a spot away from Brazil, the 2020 Gold Medal winners. However, they haven’t had the best preparation for the Olympics, being thumped 3-0 by Chile in June.

The squad will likely be similar to the one selected for the friendlies against Argentina, with a few players needing to be cut ahead of the Games.

The squad for the friendlies prior to the Olympics is:
