The women's football tournament at the 2016 Summer Olympics was held from 3 to 19 August 2016.^[1] It was the 6th edition of the women's Olympic football tournament. Together with the men's competition, the 2016 Summer Olympics football tournament was held in six cities in Brazil, including Olympic host city Rio de Janeiro, which hosted the final at the Maracanã Stadium.^[2] There were no player age restrictions for teams participating in the women's competition.

In March 2016, it was agreed that the competition would be part of IFAB's trial to allow a fourth substitute to be made during extra time.^[3] Title holders and 2012 Summer Olympics gold Olympic medalists the United States, were eliminated in a loss against Sweden in a penalty shoot-out in the quarter-finals. This marked the first time that the United States has not progressed to the semi-finals in a major international tournament.

Germany won their first gold medal by defeating Sweden 2–1 in the final.^[4]^[5]
Canada won bronze after beating host Brazil with the same scoreline in the bronze medal game.^[6]

Draw[edit]

The draw for the tournament was held on 14 April 2016, 10:30 BRT (UTC−3), at the Maracanã Stadium, Rio de Janeiro.^[20] The 12 teams in the women's tournament were drawn into three groups of four teams.^[21] The teams were seeded into four pots based on the FIFA Ranking of March 2016 (in brackets in the table).^[22] The hosts Brazil were automatically assigned into position E1. No groups can contain more than one team from the same confederation.^[23]

Pot 1	Pot 2	Pot 3	Pot 4
Brazil (8) (assigned to E1) United States (1) Germany (2)	France (3) Australia (5) Sweden (6)	Canada (10) China PR (12) New Zealand (16)	Colombia (24) South Africa (54) Zimbabwe (95)

Group stage[edit]

The top two teams of each group and the two best third-placed teams advanced to the quarter-finals. The rankings of teams in each group were determined as follows:^[18]

points obtained in all group matches;

goal difference in all group matches;

number of goals scored in all group matches;

If two or more teams were equal on the basis of the above three criteria, their rankings were determined as follows:

points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;

goal difference in the group matches between the teams concerned;

number of goals scored in the group matches between the teams concerned;

drawing of lots by the FIFA Organising Committee.

The groups were denoted as groups E, F and G to avoid confusion with the groups of the men's tournament which used designations A–D.
