The football tournament at the 2024 Summer Olympics will be held from 24 July to 10 August 2024 in France. The draw took place in Paris on 20 March 2024.[1]

In addition to the Olympic host city of Paris, matches will also be played in Bordeaux, Décines-Charpieu (near Lyon), Marseille, Nantes, Nice and Saint-Étienne.[2]

Two events are scheduled to be contested: men's and women's tournaments. Associations affiliated with FIFA may send teams to participate in the tournament. Men's teams are restricted to under-23 players (born on or after 1 January 2001) with a maximum of three overage players allowed, while there are no age restrictions on women's teams.[3]

Canada are the women's defending champions, while Brazil were the two-time men's defending champions but failed to qualify.
