At the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro , two football competitions were held from August 3 to 20, 2016 . Twelve teams took part in the women's tournament, 16 teams in the men's tournament. The games were not only played in Rio de Janeiro, but in various stadiums in Brazil . The tournament was held in parallel for women and men and began before the official opening of the games. It was the third time after 1996 and 2008 that the Olympic soccer tournament was held in the same country as the previous men's ( 1994 , USA) and women's ( 2007 , China) soccer world championships . However, only this time the finals took place in the same stadium as at the 2014 World Cup.

As since the 1996 tournament in Atlanta, only U-23 teams were allowed in the men , who could be reinforced with a maximum of three older athletes. This restriction did not apply to women.

During the games, a fourth player could be substituted on during extra time as a test.

The games were played in seven different stadiums in Brazil . The two finals took place in Rio de Janeiro in the Maracanã.

qualification

Asia

The participants of the Asian association AFC were determined at the U-23 Asian Football Championship 2016 in Qatar. Japan was the first Asian team to qualify by winning the first semi-final. With a victory in the second semi-final three hours later, South Korea, which had won the first all-Asian game for the bronze medal against Japan in 2012, reached the tournament in Rio. This is the first time since 1952 that the first four teams from the previous event take part, which apart from 1952 was only the case in 1912, and in 1984 three of the four first-placed teams from the previous event did without. Iraq was the last team to qualify for third place by beating Qatar.

Africa

For the African association CAF, the U-23 Africa Cup 2015 in Senegal, which took place from November 28th to December 12th, was decisive. The two finalists Algeria and Nigeria, as well as South Africa, the winner of the game for third place against Senegal, are qualified.

CONCACAF

Two teams from the North and Central American association CONCACAF qualified. The qualifying tournament took place in the United States from October 1st to 13th, 2015. The first two teams (Mexico, Honduras) qualified directly. The USA came third in the play-offs in March against Colombia, the runner-up in the CONMEBOL zone. The first leg ended 1-1, in the second leg Colombia won 2-1 and qualified for the Olympics. The current defending champion from 2012 qualified with Mexico .

Europe

UEFA's qualifying tournament was the U-21 European Football Championship from June 17 to 30, 2015 in the Czech Republic. The four semi-finalists qualified for the Olympic tournament. If England had reached the semi-finals, a playoff between the two thirds in the group would have been played for fourth place on the grid, as the English Football Association decided not to nominate an Olympic football team after protests by the other three Home Nations .

Oceania

The starting place of the oceanic association OFC was played at the soccer tournament of the Pacific Games from July 3rd to 17th, 2015 in Papua New Guinea. Fiji was able to secure the starting position by beating Vanuatu.

South America

Argentina qualified tournament winners for the Olympics at the U-20 South American Football Championship in Uruguay in January and February 2015. The second-placed team from Colombia met the USA in the play-offs in March 2016, the third-placed team from the CONCACAF zone. Colombia prevailed after a 1-1 and a 2-1 victory. Olympic hosts Brazil, who qualified automatically, finished 4th in this tournament.

The following teams were finally able to qualify for the Olympic football tournament:

3 from South America	Brazil (hosts)	Argentina	Colombia
4 from Europe	Denmark	Germany	Portugal	Sweden
2 from North and Central America	Mexico (defending champion)	Honduras
3 from Africa	Algeria	Nigeria	South Africa
3 from Asia	Japan	South Korea	Iraq
1 from Oceania	Fiji

Group stage

The group draw took place on April 14, 2016. The teams were divided into four pots for the draw based on the results of the last Olympic tournaments:

Pot 1: Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Japan

Pot 2: Nigeria, South Korea, Honduras, Iraq

Pot 3: Sweden, Fiji, Portugal, South Africa

Pot 4: Algeria, Colombia, Denmark, Germany

At the drawing, two teams from the same confederation could not be drawn into one group.

qualification

Asia

The two starting places due to the Asian association AFC were played out in a qualifying tournament in three rounds. The first round took place in March 2015, the second round in September 2015 and the third round in February and March 2016 in Osaka . The two best teams qualified for the Olympic Games. On the penultimate matchday, Australia and the People's Republic of China were already confirmed as Asian participants. In contrast, Vice World Champion Japan, who won the silver medal in 2012, could not use the home advantage.

Africa

The two starting places of the African association CAF were determined in a qualification tournament , which consisted of four rounds. The games were played back and forth, with the first round not taking place because two teams withdrew, and ended on October 18, 2015. The two top teams qualified for the finals. As in 2012, South Africa was able to qualify again, whereas the Zimbabwean national football team was able to qualify for a FIFA tournament for the first time.

America

The two teams of the North and Central American association CONCACAF will be determined at a tournament from February 10 to 21, 2016 in the USA. With victories in the semi-finals, Canada and defending champions USA qualified for Rio 2016 on February 19, 2016. Defending champions USA then won the final against Canada and remained clean in the tournament.

At the 2014 South American Women's Football Championship in Ecuador , the two starting places of the South American association CONMEBOL were played. Brazil , which had already qualified as hosts, and Colombia prevailed in the final round and were the first teams to qualify for the Olympic tournament.

Europe

From the European association UEFA, the three best European teams qualified for the 2015 World Cup in Canada . Germany and France qualified directly by moving into the quarter-finals. Since England , which came third at the World Cup as the best European team, is not eligible to compete in the Olympic Games as an individual association within Great Britain, the third European participant in a tournament between the teams eliminated in the round of 16 from the Netherlands , Norway , Sweden and of Switzerland determined. The everyone-against-everyone tournament took place from March 2 to 9, 2016 in the Netherlands. Sweden secured last place on the grid with two 1-0 wins and a draw against the hosts.

Oceania

The starting place of the oceanic federation OFC should be in play-off games between Papua New Guinea , the winner of the football tournament at the Pacific Games , which was played from July 6 to 16, 2015 in Papua New Guinea, and New Zealand in January 2016 in Hin - and return leg are determined. After New Zealand won the first game in Papua New Guinea 7-1, Papua New Guinea did not play for the second leg in New Zealand, New Zealand was thus qualified for the Olympic Games.

The following teams were able to qualify for the women's Olympic football tournament:

2 from South America	Brazil (hosts)	Colombia
3 from Europe	Germany	France	Sweden
2 from North and Central America	Canada	USA (defending champion)
2 from Africa	Zimbabwe	South Africa
2 from Asia	Australia	China
1 from Oceania	New Zealand

Group stage

The group draw took place on April 14, 2016. The teams will be divided into four pots for the draw based on the FIFA world rankings of March 25, 2016:

Pot 1: Brazil, USA, Germany

Pot 2: France, Australia, Sweden

Pot 3: Canada, PR China, New Zealand

Pot 4: Colombia, South Africa, Zimbabwe

At the drawing, two teams from the same confederation could not be drawn into one group. So it was clear even before the draw that Germany would have to face Australia and therefore could not have met China.

The first games of the women's tournament were played on August 3, 2016, two days before the actual opening of the Olympic Games. The first two game days of each group were held as double events. The third game day took place in parallel in different stadiums. The three group winners and runners-up as well as the two best group thirds qualified for the quarter-finals.
