Always one of the most popular sports at the Olympics, football makes another appearance at the 2021 Tokyo Olympic games. Here, you can find the full football schedule for this year’s tournament, in both the men’s and women’s competitions.
The football tournament at Tokyo 2021 ran from Wednesday, July 21 – two days before the opening ceremony – until Saturday, August 7.
The Matildas fell agonisingly short of a medal. They made headlines with an excellent quarterfinal win over Great Britain, but were defeated by Sweden in the semi-final before losing to the USA in the bronze medal match.
The Olyroos made a splash by upsetting Argentina in their first group stage match, but that was the only game they’d win as they exited before the knockout stage.
