Olympics soccer games today: USWNT vs Japan highlight Paris Games slate

The women's soccer tournament at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games has been intense, with the knockout rounds arriving with Saturday's slate of four matches.

The U.S. women's national team won all three of its group-stage games, as did World Cup champions Spain and defending gold medalists Canada. While the USWNT and Spain secured straightforward places among the eight quarterfinalists playing across France in this round, the Canadians overcame a six-point penalty relating to a drone spying scandal that has been one of the stories of these Summer Olympics.

Those three will be joined by hosts France, contenders like Japan and Germany, a growing power in Colombia, and a Brazil side that will have to make due without legendary playmaker Marta. The five-time world player of the year was given a red card in the group stage and will retire from the national team after this Olympic tournament, providing her team with major motivation to win on Saturday.

Here is everything you need to know about Saturday's slate of quarterfinal matches at the Olympic women's soccer competition.
