The match officials have been confirmed for the second round of group matches at the Olympic Football Tournaments in Paris 2024.

Just like on the respective opening days of the men’s and women’s Olympic Football Tournaments, mixed-gender teams of officials will take charge as eight games are played out across the four groups in the men’s tournament (all on Saturday, 27 July) and six games are contested across three groups in the women’s tournament (all on Sunday, 28 July), while Jelena Cvetković will act as fourth official in two of those games.

She will be part of the officiating team for the men’s match between the Dominican Republic and Spain, which kicks off at 15:00 (all times mentioned are CET) at the Stade de Bordeaux, while also performing fourth-official duties in the 21:00 men’s fixture between Japan and Mali at the same venue.

Continuing with the Men’s Olympic Football Tournament, Argentina v. Iraq takes place at the Stade de Lyon and is also a 15:00 kick-off. Norwegian referee Espen Eskås will take charge, with his fellow countrymen Jan Erik Engan and Isaak Bashevkin acting as his assistants. Female Ugandan referee Shamirah Nabadda will be the fourth official.

Hosts France take on Guinea at the Stade de Nice at 21:00, which will be overseen by a team of Uzbek officials comprising Ilgiz Tantashev as referee and Andrey Tsapenko and Timur Gaynullin as his assistants. Kyrgyz referee Veronika Bernatskaia will act as fourth official.

Anahí Fernández will fulfil fourth-official duties at the Stade de Marseille as New Zealand and the USA go head-to-head under the watch of  referee Glenn Nyberg and assistants Mahbod Beigi and Andreas Söderkvist.
