The 2024 Summer Olympic women's football gold medal match was a football match to determine the winners of the women's football tournament at the 2024 Summer Olympics. The match was the eighth final of the women's football tournament at the Olympics, a quadrennial tournament contested by the women's national teams of the member associations of FIFA to decide the Olympic champions. The match took place at Parc des Princes in Paris, France, on 10 August 2024. This was the first Olympic women's football final to take place after the men's tournament final.

Background

This was Brazil's third Olympic final, having lost both the 2004 and 2008 finals to the United States after extra time. Overall, this was their fourth major tournament final, having lost the 2007 Women's World Cup final to Germany.

This was the sixth Olympic final for the U.S., with them winning four of the first five Olympic women's football tournament finals dating back to 1996. Their most recent final was in 2012 victory against Japan and their previous final loss was suffered against Norway in 2000. Overall, this was their 11th major tournament final, having won in the 1991, 1999, 2015, and 2019 Women's World Cup finals and lost to Japan in 2011.

Venue

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. It also hosted some matches for the 1938 and 1998 World Cups, the 2019 Women's World Cup, and the three aforementioned UEFA Euros.
