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.
France Women possible XI: Peyraud-Magnin; De Almeida, Mbock, Renard, Karchaoui; Henry, Geyoro, Bacha; Diani, Katoto, Dali.
