Present since the Paris Olympic Games in 1900, football will obviously be there during the 2024 Paris Games.
Even if football is one of the 32 sports present at Paris 2024, the men’s event has a certain particularity. Indeed, after disagreements between the FIFA (Fédération Internationale Football Association) and the IOC (International Olympic Committee) concerning the amateur status and the participation of professional players, the two bodies finally agreed that the men’s squads would be made up of players aged 23 or under during the competition. . With the exception of 3 players over 23 years old. As for the women’s event, it does not differ in any way from those already organized by FIFA.
A totally mobilized territory
In order to best host these men’s and women’s football events, numerous stadiums will be used throughout the national territory. Indeed, seven historic French football stadiums will be called upon to host all the events which will take place from July 24 to August 10: Le Parc des Princes (PSG), La Beaujoire (FC Nantes), the Matmut Atlantique (FC Bordeaux), the Orange Vélodrome (loon), the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium (theAS Saint-Étienne), the Allianz Riviera (OGC Nice) and the Groupama Stadium (OL). Many players know these courses and will therefore have an advantage during the Olympic Games.
Real chances of medals?
Despite the defeat of Les Bleues during the 2023 World Cup in the quarter-finals, Hervé Renard’s players have qualities. They will probably be able to achieve good results during the competition. While the Bleuets coach, Thierry Henry, does not hide his ambition: “ the goal is gold “. This aspiration does not seem unimaginable. Indeed, France has a real pool of talent. A pool that could pair up with a certain Kylian Mbappé, who has never hidden his wish to participate in this competition.
