After men's football at the 2024 Olympics determined the two finalists, U23 Spain and U23 France, Europe is also hoping that women's football will have a derby final on the old continent. The two semi-finals will take place on the evening of August 6 and the morning of August 7.
In the semi-finals, there are 2 European representatives, the Spanish women's team and the German women's team . They all went through the quarterfinals with a tense match that lasted until a penalty shootout.
The Spanish women's team seemed to "come back from the dead" with a 2-2 equalizer against the Colombian women's team in the 90+7 minute, before winning 4-2 on penalties.
4-2 was also the penalty shootout score of the German women's team when they defeated the defending champion, the Canadian women's team, after 120 minutes without a goal.
But before thinking about the final, they will have to overcome very strong opponents, the Brazilian women's team and the American women's team. Brazil beat host France 1-0 in the quarterfinals, and the US beat Japan 1-0 after extra time.
The Brazilian women's team at the 2024 Olympics may not be in the best shape, but with the stars, they are very formidable. Meanwhile, American women's soccer is always the strongest and most traditional at the Olympics with 4 championships.
Notably, the teams met in the group stage, with Spain beating Brazil 1-0, the US beating Germany 4-1.
