Text report of the first ever match of the Ukrainian football team at the Olympic Games.
On Wednesday, July 24, the Ukrainian team will play against the Iraq team in the first round match of the football tournament at the 2024 Olympics.

For our football team this will be the first match in history at the Olympic Games. The “blue-yellows” received the right to compete at the 2024 Olympics thanks to the fact that the Ukrainian youth team (U-21) reached the semi-finals of Euro 2023.
In addition to Ukraine and Iraq, Argentina and Morocco will also compete in Group B, which will meet in a head-to-head match in the opening round on July 24. Kick-off is at 16:00 Kyiv time.
After the match with Iraq, the Ukrainians will play with the Moroccan team on July 27 in Saint-Etienne. Ruslan Rotan's team will complete the group round on July 30 with a match in Lyon with the Argentina national team.
The two best teams from each quartet will advance to the playoffs. If the “blue-yellows” manage to make it to the quarterfinals, they will compete there with the representative of Group A (France, USA, Guinea, New Zealand).
