Football at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Men's team squads explained

The men's football tournament at the 2024 Summer Olympics was an international football tournament held in France from 24 July to 9 August 2024. The sixteen participating national teams were required to submit squads of 18 players – of which two had to be goalkeepers – by 3 July 2024, 21 days prior to the opening match of the tournament. At least fifteen players in the list had to be born on or after 1 January 2001, and three of whom could be older dispensation players. Additionally, teams could name a maximum of four alternate players, numbered from 19 to 22. The alternate list could contain at most three outfielders, as at least one slot was reserved for a goalkeeper. In the event that a player on the submitted squad list suffered an injury or illness, that player would have been able to be replaced by one of the players in the alternate list. Only players in these squads were eligible to take part in the tournament.[1]

The final squad lists with kit numbers were published by FIFA on 11 July 2024.[2] [3]

The age listed for each player is on 24 July 2024, the first day of the tournament. The numbers of caps and goals listed for each player do not include any matches played after the start of the tournament. The club listed is the club for which the player last played a competitive match prior to the tournament. The nationality for each club reflects the national association (not the league) to which the club is affiliated. A flag is included for coaches who are of a different nationality than their own national team. Players in bold were capped at full international level prior to the tournament.
