The Brazil women Olympics 2024 squad is looking to break an unwanted record of having never won a tournament played on a global stage.
Perenially the South American champions, Brazil have struggled to assert their dominance at World Cups and Olympic Games. It's not for the want of trying, either - they achieved two silver medals, at the 2004 and 2008 Games, while last time out they could only manage to reach the quarter-finals.
After being knocked out in the group stages of the 2023 World Cup, Brazil have plenty to prove this time around.

At the age of 38, Marta is still part of the Brazil squad, though her team-mates Kerolin, Adriana and Jheniffer are the players more likely to make an impact in the Olympics. The trio are exciting forwards ready to announce their names on the international stage, supplemented by the brilliance of the nation's greatest-ever player.
Managed by Arthur Elias, who had great success with the Corinthians women side prior to take over the Selecao in 2023, Brazil will be quietly confident of upsetting the status quo.
They will play Nigeria, Japan and Spain at the Olympics. While just escaping the group stages will be a difficult task, two of the three best third-placed sides will still progress into the knockouts - meaning Brazil should be confident of some success this summer.
