Olympics Wiki

The women's tournament of Football 2020 during the 2020 Summer Olympics was held on 21 July-6 August 2021 in the Sapporo Dome, the Tokyo Stadium, and various other locations. With 12 teams competing, the event was won by the team from Canada, with Sweden taking the silver medal and United States taking bronze.

Format[]

The competition exists out of three groups of four, with each team playing another once. Standings are primarily based on win/loss-record, with the team with the most points after a certain time limit winning a match. The top two ranked teams advance to the quarterfinals, as well as the best third-placed teams. After this, a single knockout phase is played, with the winners of the quarterfinals advancing to the semifinals, and the winners of the final winning the event.

Preview[]

Twelve teams qualified for the event, with the United States as the big favorite to win the gold medal, as the four-time Olympic champions and after winning the two previous editions of the world championships. Sweden and Canada would try to defend their Olympic medals but with the European champions of the Netherlands and the home team Japan, as well as world number five Sweden and traditional powerhouse Brazil, competition was plenty.
