Football at the Olympics is always an exciting prospect. It’s not only the chance to see some of the best young players from nations, but it’s also the chance to pick up a major honor outside of the major football tournaments - Olympic Gold.
The Games get underway in the men’s football competition on July 24, running through until the Final on July 9, taking place across France at many of the nation’s iconic stadiums. Brazil are the current holders, having won Gold at the last two Olympics. No nation has completed a hat-trick in the men’s competition, and it won’t be occurring here either, with the Selecao failing to qualify for the tournament.
