The 2024 Paris Olympics get underway next month, with the women's football tournament kicking off on July 25. Twelve countries will contest the group stages, before the knock-out rounds, with the gold-medal match set to be played on August 10.

Seven cities will host the women's football tournament: Paris, Marseille, Lyon, Bordeaux, Saint-Etienne, Nice and Nantes.

Former Chelsea manager Emma Hayes has named Blues forward Catarina Macario in the United States' 18-player squad. The USA are in Group B alongside Zambia, Germany and Australia. Meanwhile, Maika Hamano has been included in Japan's squad.

This will be the second Olympics where Macario has represented her country. The 24-year-old was in the squad for the delayed games in Tokyo three years ago when the USA claimed a bronze medal.

Hamano could make her debut at the Olympics after being named in Japan's squad for Paris. The 20-year-old forward and her compatriots will come up against Spain, Nigeria and Brazil in Group C.

There could be further Chelsea representation at the Olympics this summer, with the final squad lists for France, Germany, Canada and Colombia among those yet to be confirmed.
