Five top players who could feature at the 2024 Olympics
The Summer Olympics return this summer with Paris the host city for the world’s biggest multi-sport event.
Olympic rules are that each of the competing squads must contain players aged 23 or under, though three overage players are permitted in each squad. France will be aiming for a second gold medal on home soil, having claimed top honours in 1984, with Thierry Henry set to coach the side.
Football at the Olympics this summer will be hosted from 24 July to 10 August, though the earlier European Championship and Copa America could impact squad selection.
Ahead of the 2024 Olympics, we’ve looked at five big names who could feature.
Five top players who could feature at the 2024 Olympics:
Kylian Mbappe (France)
France are hoping to include Kylian Mbappe as an overage option in their squad for the 2024 Olympics, with the 25-year-old having spoken of his desire to compete at the finals. Arguably world football’s finest talent, Mbappe has scored a record-breaking 250 goals in all competitions for Paris Saint-Germain and 46 in 76 caps for the French national team. Named as captain of Les Bleus, his first focus will be on captaining France to success at Euro 2024, though he has not ruled out competing in both tournaments across the summer.
