The United States Under-23 Women’s National Team pushed forward at the 2024 Olympic Women’s Tournament, securing early advancement to the knockout stage after the second matchday. Emma Hayes’ squad has looked impressive, leaving behind any issues on the attack by scoring multiple goals in all three matches. However, their road to a medal is slightly more difficult than others’, as first place in Group B (unlike A and C) faces off against a runner-up instead of a third-place finisher, which in this case is a quite capable Japan. Set to host is Paris’ Parc de Princes, a 47,929 all-seater stadium located in the 16th arrondissement with a Desso GrassMaster® natural reinforced grass surface.
