The 2020 Summer Olympic women's football final was a football match that took place at International Stadium Yokohama in Yokohama, Japan, on 6 August 2021 to determine the winner of women's football tournament at the 2020 Summer Olympics. Canada won their first gold medal by defeating Sweden 3–2 in the penalty shoot-out after both teams drew 1–1 after extra time in the final.
The final was originally scheduled to be held at the Japan National Stadium in Tokyo at 11:00 local time. Both teams requested a later kickoff time due to concerns about excessive heat; as the National Stadium was already booked for athletics events in the evening, the game was moved to 21:00 local time at the International Stadium Yokohama in Yokohama.[1] [2]
