2024 Summer Olympics men's soccer schedule, groups, venues: USMNT's possible path to the medal stand
Although the UEFA Euro 2024 and Copa America 2024 action should be enough to keep you entertained during the offseason in club soccer, there is even more international soccer to look forward to thanks to the Olympic Games in Paris this summer. Although much of the men's tournament will actually take part away from the capital region, some of the best venues used by France's top professional clubs will host a fascinating mix of national teams from late July until mid-August with a host of star names expected to feature. Can the United States men's national team dream of gold in Paris, or will the host nation call upon Kylian Mbappe to secure that honor for Les Bleus? While we wait to find out, you can find all of the necessary scheduling details right here.
