Footballing heavyweights battle it out at the Tokyo Olympics this summer

A total of 16 footballing nations will participate in the Summer Olympics this year, and they have been split into four groups.

Group A sees Japan, France, Mexico, and South Africa battle it out for a place in the knock-outs, with France the favorites at the moment.

Group B is fairly unpredictable and will see intriguing contests between New Zealand, South Korea, Honduras, and Romania. Honduras reached the semi-finals in 2016 and will look to mount another impressive campaign this year.
