A busy summer of women’s international action continues, with the 2024 Paris Olympic Games taking centre stage from the end of July until mid-August!
West Ham United women’s team will be represented by Katrina Gorry and Riko Ueki at the Games, as they star for Australia and Japan respectively.
Matches will take place across France during the competition, with group stage matches kicking off on Thursday 25 July.
Here’s a look at everything you need to know ahead of the tournament and how you can watch the pair in action.
When and where will our two Hammers be playing?
As stated above, the eighth edition of the tournament will begin on Thursday 25 July, with all fixtures across the three groups taking place on the same days across a six-day period.
The tournament will be held across seven stadiums in seven cities throughout France, with Ueki and Japan playing their group stage matches in Nantes and Paris, while Gorry and Australia will play two matches in Marseille and one in Nice.
Twelve teams will feature in the competition, meaning three extremely competitive groups have been drawn out from the teams that qualified. Australia will face the United States, Germany and Zambia, while Japan take on current world champions Spain, as well as Brazil and Nigeria.
The Matildas begin against Germany on 25 July, before facing Zambia on 28 July and then end the group stage against the United States on 31 July.
Japan start their campaign against Spain in Nantes on 25 July, before taking on Brazil in Paris three days later. They end the group stage on 31 July against Nigeria.
Where can I watch the games?
All of the Olympic Games group stage matches will be broadcast across the BBC and discovery+ in the UK.
