The draw for the Paris 2024 Olympic football tournaments will take place on 20 March at 20:00 local time at the Pulse building in the French capital, which will serve as the headquarters for the upcoming Games.

The teams that have already booked their places in the 12-team women's Olympic Football tournament and the 16-team men's competition will find out their fate ahead of the Games, which will be held from 26 July to 11 August. The Olympic Football Tournaments will be held in Paris, Nantes, Bordeaux, Marseille, Nice, Saint-Étienne and Lyon from 24 July - two days before the Olympic Opening Ceremony - to 10 August, the day of the women's final. For the first time ever, the Olympic football tournaments will culminate in the women's final. 

Following the semi-finals of the UEFA Women's Nations League Finals, in which Spain booked its Olympic ticket, there are five places up for grabs for Paris 2024. The reigning world champions will be joined by hosts France, the USA, Brazil, Colombia, Canada and New Zealand. After the Nations League final between France and Spain on Wednesday at 19:00, the Netherlands and Germany will meet at 20:45 for the third place and consequently the last European ticket to the Games.
