The 2024 Summer Olympic football gold medal match was a football match to determine the gold medal winners of men's football tournament at the 2024 Summer Olympics. The match was the 26th final of the men's football tournament at the Olympics, a quadrennial tournament contested by the men's under-23 national teams of the member associations of FIFA to decide the Olympic champions. The match was held at Parc des Princes in Paris, France, on 9 August 2024.[3] [4] This was the first Olympic men's football final to take place before the women's tournament final.[5]
The final was contested between hosts France and previous Games' silver medalists Spain. Both teams were seeking their second Olympic title, having won in 1984 and 1992, respectively. France hoped to emulate Spain's 1992 triumph by winning a home Olympics, while Spain hoped to emulate France's 1984 record of winning the Olympics and the UEFA European Championship, having won the UEFA Euro 2024. At that time, France defeated Spain in the UEFA Euro 1984 final held at Parc des Princes.
Spain won the match 5–3 after extra time, winning a second gold medal and became the first European team to do so in 32 years (since own Spain at the home in 1992).[6] [7]
The final was held at the Parc des Princes in Paris.
The stadium first opened in 1897, and had been refurbished twice since 1972, first for the 1998 FIFA World Cup, and then for the UEFA Euro 2016. It hosted the UEFA Euro finals in 1960 and 1984, as well as six finals in various Europe's club competitions. It also hosted some matches for the 1938 and 1998 World Cups, the 2019 Women's World Cup, and the three aforementioned UEFA Euros.[8]
