Coming off gold medals in both the 2016 Olympics in Rio and the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, there will be no three-peat for Brazil, as it failed to qualify for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
At Paris 2024, 16 nations will compete in men’s football. Participants will be drawn into groups of four, with eight progressing to the quarterfinals.
Each team’s 18-player roster is restricted to players under the age of 23, with an exception for three players who can be older.
Team USA is in the field and currently hold the fifth-best odds to win the gold medal at +1600.
The USMNT will return to the Olympic Games for the first time since 2008. The competition is an important part of the development of younger players, as it will provide some of the nation’s top young talent with the opportunity to face elite opposition on the world stage.
