Men’s soccer is underway at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, and there are five clear favorites to leave the French capital with a gold medal.
There is still plenty of soccer to be played this summer even in the aftermath of Copa America 2024 and Euro 2024. Some of the world’s most prolific soccer nations, including Spain, France, and Argentina, are competing at the 2024 Paris Olympics for a chance at more international glory.

3. Argentina
Julian Alvarez, Nicolas Otamendi, and Geronimo Rulli, three members of Argentina’s Copa America 2024 winning squad, are also representing their country in Paris this summer. As good as the three players have been for La Albiceleste, they will not be able to carry their squad to a gold medal.
