The fate of the women's soccer group for the Tokyo Olympics was revealed late yesterday afternoon, with China's women lucky enough to avoid host Japan and the powerful United States, and sharing Group F with Brazil, the Netherlands and Zambia of Africa.
Among the four teams, Zambia, with a world ranking of 104th, is particularly weak and can be regarded as a "fish belly". Although the Netherlands is the European champion, but has never set foot in the Olympic final round stage. Recall the 2016 Rio Olympics, China's women's soccer team encountered the Brazilian women's soccer team in the first match, and finally to 0:3 score hate. Although the strength of the Brazilian women's soccer team has declined in recent years, but it is still the best in Group F.
For this year's Olympics, a total of 12 women's soccer teams have been divided into three groups of four teams each.
The group stage will be a single round-robin system, with the top two teams from each group, along with the two best performing third-place finishers, for a total of eight teams, qualifying for the quarterfinals.
The group stage will begin sequentially on July 21, 24 and 27, when matches will be played on three separate dates.
After advancing to the final eight, the tournament will switch to a single-game elimination system. The final showdown will be held on August 6 at the Tokyo National Arena.
Here are the results of the women's soccer Olympic draw:
Group E: Japan, United Kingdom, Canada, Chile
Group F: Netherlands, Brazil, China, Zambia
Group G: United States, Sweden, Australia, New Zealand
