France, Spain in gold medal match at the Paris 2024 Olympics

Going for gold at the Paris 2024 Olympics, host France meet neighbours Spain in today’s final at the Parc des Princes. Interestingly, both teams overcame North African teams to set the much-anticipated final.

Event # 1 — Paris Olympics 2024 Football final

A new Olympic champion in football will be crowned as the host nation France and Spain square off in a mouth-watering clash. Spain, fresh off winning this summer European title, will be aiming to add the Olympic gold medal after beating Morocco 2-1 to advance to the final, while France defeated Egypt 3-1 to set up this eagerly anticipated clash.

Spain, the silver medallist from the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, will be aiming to secure the main prize from the tournament’s host France, who have been in scintillating form during the tournament. In fact, host France have yet to lose a game at the Olympics so far, although they needed three late goals to defeat Egypt in their semi-final match. With that said, host France have been impressive throughout the tournament, scoring 11 goals and conceding just one, while Spain have been just as impressive in their attack, scoring 11 goals but conceded five times.

Overall, this is a home match for France, a major boost. That, along with their impressive defensive record to this point, should be enough to see them securing the gold medal, but Spain is stacked with talent, led by Barcelona’s Fermin Lopez, who has scored four goals so far in the tournament, will be aiming to stun the host nation and win the gold medal.

Facts & Stats:

* Barcelona’s Fermin Lopez and France’s Jean-Philippe Mateta have both scored four goals in the tournament, tying for second place in the tournament’s top scorers list.

* France have never won the Olympic football title.

* Spain won Olympic gold in 1992 but have lost in the finals on three occasions.
