With stadiums across France (Bordeaux, Lyon, Nice, Marseille, Nantes and Saint-Etienne will host games) being used and the final held at Paris Saint-Germain’s Parc des Princes home, this is going to be an epic celebration of the beautiful game.

For the first time since 2008 the USMNT have qualified for the tournament and there will be hopes that a talented young squad can deliver a medal for Team USA as they were handed a kind group stage draw where they face hosts France in the opening game. Two-time reigning champs Brazil failed to qualify so hosts France and reigning World Cup champs Argentina are the favorites to win gold. The men’s tournament is a U-23 competition but three players in each squad over the age of 23 are allowed to compete for their nations. With Achraf Hakimi, Michael Olise, Julian Alvarez and plenty of other stars competing in the men’s tournament, it’s going to be a beauty.

The USWNT have qualified for the women’s tournament (which allows players of all ages to compete) and are favorites to win gold in Paris under new head coach Emma Hayes, but they haven’t tasted success at the Olympics since 2012 in London as Canada are the reigning champs. The USWNT were handed a very tough group with Germany, Australia and Zambia set to push them all the way to reach the knockout rounds. Hosts France are also expected to make a deep run, while Canada, Brazil, reigning World Cup champs Spain and Japan are all expected to push for the gold medal.
