Charlotte FC News Release
Charlotte FC winger Liel Abada is set to represent Israel at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics. The men’s competition is an Under-23 tournament featuring 16 teams. The format includes a group stage with four groups of four teams each, followed by a single-elimination tournament for the top two teams from each group.
Liel Abada’s latest appearance for Israel’s national team was as a substitute in the EURO 2024 Qualification Semi-Final, where they suffered a defeat to Iceland, ending their hopes of qualifying for the prestigious tournament. Despite this setback, the 22-year-old has the opportunity to demonstrate his talent on the international stage and vie for silverware this summer.
The 2024 Paris Summer Olympics soccer competition kicks off on July 24, two days before the opening ceremony. Israel is grouped with Japan, Paraguay, and Mali. They will play their first match against Mali on Wednesday, July 24.
