USWNT Olympic 2024 Draw: Fixtures, Venue, Timing, TV Schedule, and Who Will Team USA Face Off Against in Group B

FIFA announced the USWNT’s soccer schedule at the 2024 Paris Olympics on Wednesday. While the USMNT plays on the opening day of Olympic soccer- July 24, the tournament will only start on July 25 for the women. The USWNT features in the tournament’s Group B, awaiting a headline clash against Germany. This Olympic edition marks new boss, Emma Hayes’ first competitive tournament with the team.

The USWNT last won the Olympic Gold in 2012. They faced a QF exit in 2016. Meanwhile, the US team finished with a Bronze in 2020. With a young core catapulting the US’ CONCACAF W Gold Cup win, they looked poised to run deep in the Paris-based tournament.

USWNT’s Olympic Group matches and venues

Their first Group B game kicks off at Stade de Nice on July 25. Emma Hayes’ side would face the winner of a 2-leg playoff between Morocco and Zambia. On July 28, the US plays the 2016 gold medalists- Germany in Stade de Marseille. Once again, the Stade de Marseille will host the USWNT, as they play the Australia on July 31. Should the USWNT finish in the Top 2 slots in Group B, they will qualify for the QFs.

Apart from the USWNT’s group, three other groups feature in the tournament. If the US finishes first in Group B, they face Group C’s 2nd seed. If the US finishes second, they face Group A’s 2nd seed. Notably, the USWNT has never failed to qualify for the Olympic QFs. Besides, the only time the USWNT faced a quarter-final exit was in 2016. They have a medal in all other Olympic outings ever since the women’s soccer tournament started in 1996. Now, let’s see the timings and streaming details for the American team’s Group B games.
