Women's tournament

The Women's Olympic football tournament at Tokyo 2020 began on July 21 and runs until August 6. Unlike the men's competition, there are no player age restrictions for teams participating.

Defending champions Germany failed to qualify after being eliminated in the quarter-finals of the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup. The Netherlands, Sweden, USA and England (represented as Team GB at the Games) booked their place by reaching the semi-finals.

The competing countries were divided into three groups of four teams, denoted as Groups E, F and G to avoid confusion with the groups of the men's tournament.

Hosts Japan were automatically seeded into Pot One, with the remaining teams seeded into their respective pots based on the FIFA Women's World Rankings. No group could contain more than one team from each confederation.

The top two teams of each group and the two best third-placed teams advanced to the quarter-finals.

The venues

The tournament will be held across the same six venues used for the men's tournament with the final taking place at the National Stadium in Tokyo:

• Kashima Stadium, Kashima
• Miyagi Stadium, Rifu
• Saitama Stadium 2002, Saitama
• Sapporo Dome, Sapporo
• National Stadium, Tokyo
• Tokyo Stadium, Tokyo
• International Stadium Yokohama, Yokohama
