participations between 2000 and 2008.

winning teams, namely Japan and Canada respectively. The 0-0 draw they earned in the meeting with Japan,

who were the then reigning champions, remains their only positive result in the competition.

edition. Myanmar claimed the biggest winning margin on the road to Rio with their 16-0 home victory over

three defeats four years ago.

Facts to know about the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament

Football became the first team sport to be included in the Olympic Games after it was introduced as an exhibition sport in 1900 and 1904. Women’s football was not introduced until the Atlanta 1996 Olympic Games.

Rio 2016 is the sixth Women’s Olympic Football Tournament.

USA, Brazil and Sweden have taken part in all of the five editions.

Zimbabwe are the only newcomers to this year’s tournament – and also newcomer for any women’s FIFA competition so far.

Regulations for the first two Women’s Olympic Football Tournaments events stipulated that players had to be at least 16 years old. However, that rule was abolished for Athens in 2004 and since then no age restriction has applied.

Twenty-one teams have taken part in a women’s Olympic Football tournament.

In all five tournaments to date, the USA has succeeded in reaching every final match.

The USA have won medals in all five Women’s Olympic Football Tournaments: gold in 1996, 2004, 2008 and 2012, and silver in 2000 when they were defeated by Norway 3-2 in extra time.

The USA is the only nation to have been in the top three at all FIFA Women’s World Cups™ and Women’s Olympic Football Tournaments to date.

The highest attendance at the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament is likely to stand for some time, as a record 80,203 fans packed the Wembley Stadium in London, England to witness the USA defeat Japan 2-1 in 2012.

With 740,014 people, Beijing 2008 holds the record for the highest number of total spectators during a Women’s Olympic Football Tournament. Atlanta 1996 holds the best average record with 43,235 spectators.

The highest-scoring Women’s Olympic match and the biggest margin of victory is 8-0, the score by which Germany beat China PR in 2004. Eight goals is also the highest goal total for a single team.

With twelve goals Cristiane of Brazil is the leading goalscorers at the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament. Behind her are Germany’s Birgit Prinz with ten goals and the USA’s Abby Wambach with nine.

Germany’s Birgit Prinz is the only player to have scored in four editions of the Women’s Olympic Football Tournaments.


Facts to know about the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament - continued

There have been just four hat-tricks so far in the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament: the first by Germany’s Birgit Prinz (scoring four goals) against China PR in Athens 2004, the second and third by Brazil’s Cristiane against hosts Greece in Athens 2004 and against Nigeria in 2008 and the fourth by Canada’s Christine Sinclair against the USA in London 2012. Cristiane is the only player to have scored two Olympic hat-tricks.

The earliest Olympic goal was scored by the USA’s Heather O’Reilly in the 42nd second of the encounter against New Zealand in 2008.

The youngest goalscorer in the history of the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament was China PR’s Gu Yasha when she scored against Argentina on 12 August 2008 in Beijing aged 17 years and eight months. At 33 years and seven months, Sweden’s Lena Videkull remains the oldest goalscorer as she found the net against Denmark on 25 July in Atlanta 1996.

The oldest player to date is Brazil’s goalkeeper Meg, who was aged 40 years and 7 months when she took part in the play-off for third place in 1996. Aged 16 years and eight months the youngest player is Brazil’s Daniela in the 2000 edition, Cameroon’s Raissa Feudjio was only a few days older when she played in London 2012.

The oldest medal winner is the USA’s Christie Rampone who won gold at the age of 37 years and one month in 2012. The youngest medal winner is Brazil’s Renata Costa, who picked up a silver medal in 2004 aged 18 years and 49 days.

Brazil’s Formiga has the most appearances with a record 24 matches. She is closely followed by USA’s Christie Rampone (22 matches) and Brazil’s Tania (20 matches).

* Golden Goal

The Golden Goal The golden goal rule has now been abolished, but two games at a Women’s Olympic Football Tournament have been decided by this method, both of them featuring the USA and Norway. In the 1996 semi-final, MacMillan’s golden goal saw the USA through, and four years later Dagny Mellgren sealed gold for Norway.
