FIFA today 21st held a draw for men's and women's soccer at the organizing committee headquarters of the 2024 Paris Olympics in Saint-Denis, outside Paris, France.

The men's soccer team at the Paris Olympics drew a draw for the rest of the country, except for AFC countries up to four countries that have not yet played Olympic qualifiers, with 16 countries participating.

 

Argentina, the "most winning team" among the Paris Olympics participating countries by winning two titles 2004 and 2008, was in Group B Archen, Morocco, Ukraine, and the third-ranked AFC, Spain, the winner of the 1992 tournament, was in Group C Spain, Egypt, the Dominican Republic, and the second-ranked AFC, and France, the champion of the 1984 tournament, was in Group A France, the United States, New Zealand, and the fourth-ranked AFC team-the winner of the Guineas Playoff.

 

The top AFC team was assigned to Group D along with Paraguay, Mali and Israel.

Looking at the results of the draw, Group A, which includes France and the United States, which ranked fourth in the 2000 tournament, naturally emerged as a "group of hardship."

"Hwang Sun-Hong-ho" South Korea will determine the opponent team to meet in the Paris Olympic finals based on the results of the 2024 AFC U-23 Championship in Qatar from April 15.

 

The first to third-place teams in the AFC U-23 Championship will go straight to the Paris Olympics, while the fourth-place team will have to play a continental playoff against Guinea, the fourth-place team in the CAF qualifying round, to try to secure tickets to the finals.

 

South Korean soccer, which holds the world record of "most consecutive Olympics appearances" 9 times, aims to advance to the Olympic finals for 10 consecutive times since the 1988 Seoul Olympics through the U-23 Asian Cup.

 

Considering the results of the draw for the Paris Olympics, Korea's best scenario is to be included in Group D, avoiding Spain, Argentina, and France, which are considered favorites.

However, the group assignment of AFC member countries to the Paris Olympics will be determined according to the results of men's soccer at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

 

At the Tokyo Olympics, Japan came in fourth, the highest ranking, and South Korea made it to the quarterfinals.

 

Australia and Saudi Arabia were eliminated from the group stage.

 

If South Korea and Japan secure a berth to the Paris Olympic finals, Japan will be included in Group D and South Korea in Group C.

 

If Japan misses the ticket to the finals, Korea will be in Group D.

 

In Group D, Paraguay, the runner-up of the 2004 tournament, is considered a tough opponent, but Mali and Israel are worth a try.

 

Meanwhile, in the women's soccer draw for the Paris Olympics, where 12 countries participate, the U.S. 1996, 2004, 2008, 2012, the most ever four-time champion, became the "Group of Death" as it was tied to Group B with Germany, the winner of the 2016 Olympics, Australia, and the African team Zambia or Morocco.

 

Spain, which will win the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, will compete in Group C with Japan, the "Asian powerhouse," Brazil, which won two-time Olympic runner-up 2004, 2008, and an African team Nigeria or South Africa.

 

Group A included the host France, Colombia, Canada, and New Zealand.
