In the eight-team women's soccer tournament at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Brazilian women's soccer team
The team managed to advance to the quarterfinals with a 1-0 win over hosts France. Reporter Meg Linehan confirmed that Brazilian women's soccer legend
Marta (name)
will miss the semifinals due to suspension.
According to reporters, and after confirming with a FIFA spokesperson, Marta has been suspended for two matches for a violent foul against Spain in the final round of the group stage. She has already missed the last eight match against France due to the suspension and will continue to miss the semi-final against Spain. However, regardless of the outcome of the semifinals, Marta will have the opportunity to play in the final game of the Olympics for the Brazilian women's soccer team, which could be either the gold or bronze medal game.
Marta, 38, once known as "Pele in a dress," announced in April that she would quit the national team after the Olympics. The Olympics are likely to be the last dance of her career. Although she has achieved numerous honors in her career, the Olympic gold medal and the Women's World Cup title are still absent from her trophy case. If Brazil is able to beat Spain in the semifinals, they will advance to the finals to take on the winner of the match between the United States and Germany for Marta's final honor.
The performance of the Brazilian women's soccer team and Marta's final stage will surely be one of the major attractions of the Olympics. Fans are looking forward to seeing the legendary player show her class in the final match for Brazil.
