Emma Hayes’ long-awaited takeover of the United States women’s national team might be the big story going into this summer’s Olympic women’s football tournament, but will the pair get off to a successful start in France?

Only 12 nations qualify for the Games, which is a senior tournament for the women as opposed to the men’s Under-23 format, so the line-up is absolutely stacked with top teams, featuring World Cup winners Spain, South American champions Brazil, and Canada, who claimed the gold medal in Tokyo in 2021.
