Women's soccer in Paris

The Canadian women's soccer team was eliminated from the Paris 2024 Olympics after losing to Germany in a penalty shootout, following a 0-0 draw in the quarterfinals. Despite qualifying for the knockout stage amid a FIFA-imposed six-point penalty due to a scandal, Canada could not advance further. Meanwhile, the U.S. women's field hockey team concluded their Olympic run with a 1-0 victory over South Africa, finishing ninth overall but did not qualify for the quarterfinals. The U.S. men's soccer team also faced elimination, suffering a 4-0 defeat to Morocco in the quarterfinals, marking a disappointing end to their campaign despite their best Olympic run in 25 years. Notably, the U.S. field hockey team will secure a spot in the 2028 Olympics as the host nation. These outcomes highlight the challenges faced by the U.S. and Canadian teams at the current Olympic Games.
