German footballers have taken on difficult tasks at the Olympic Games. The European vice champions will meet in Group Two with the United States, four-time Olympic champion, and Australia, fourth in the World Cup, in addition to Zambia and Morocco. This was the result of the draw on Wednesday evening in Paris.
African participants are still being identified
The matches will be held twice, in Marseille (July 25 and 28) and in Saint-Etienne (July 31). The top two teams in each group qualify for the Olympic quarter-finals, and the top two third teams also qualify for the quarter-finals. Participants from the African Confederation (CAF) will be determined at the beginning of April.
The division into pots was based on ranking in the world rankings. Since there were two European teams in Pot One, it was already clear before the draw was made that Germany would join the USA group from Pot Two.
With their victory over the Netherlands in the European Nations League, German footballers took advantage of their last chance at the Olympics and qualified for Paris.

Men's Championship without Germany
In the men's tournament, France will face host nation the United States in its opening match, 40 years after its 1984 Olympic victory in Los Angeles. The other competitors in Group A are New Zealand and the winner of the knockout match between the representatives of Asia and Africa. Tournament favorites Argentina will face Morocco, Ukraine and an Asian team in Group B, which will be decided at the AFC U-23 Cup in May.
Brazil, the champion of the Tokyo Olympics, did not qualify, like the German team. The German Football Association's U21s team had already been eliminated from the preliminary round of the European Championship, but should have reached the quarter-finals. This means that the German Football Association team will miss the Olympic Games for the first time since 2012.
