Football at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Women's tournament – Group C
Group C of the women's football tournament at the 2024 Summer Olympics was played from 25 to 31 July 2024.[1][2] The group, one of three 4-team groups competing in the group stage of the Olympic tournament, consisted of Brazil, Japan, Spain and Nigeria.[3] The top two teams, Spain and Japan, advanced to the knockout stage, along with third-placed Brazil as one of the two best third-placed teams among all three groups.[4]
Fair play points would have been used as a tiebreaker if the overall and head-to-head records of teams were tied. These were calculated based on yellow and red cards received in all group matches as follows:
first yellow card: minus 1 point;
indirect red card (second yellow card): minus 3 points;
direct red card: minus 4 points;
yellow card and direct red card: minus 5 points;
Only one of the above deductions could be applied to a player in a single match.
