Group G is set.

Alongside Australia and New Zealand, the United States women’s national team is set to take on Sweden in the Tokyo Olympic football tournament.

The last matchup between the USWNT and Sweden saw a 1-1 draw between the two teams. While it didn’t end the U.S.’s 38-game unbeaten streak, it was the first non-win of the 17-game Vlatko Andonovski era. 

With 2016 champions Germany failing to qualify for the tournament, there will be a new winner of Olympic gold. The USWNT are looking to become the first women’s team to win a World Cup and an Olympic gold medal back-to-back.

2021 Women’s Olympic draw:

Group E: Japan, Canada, Great Britain, Chile

Group F: China, Brazil, Zambia, Netherlands

Group G: Sweden, United States, Australia, New Zealand
