Olympic football competition draw

The draws have been made for the men's and women's football tournaments at the Olympic Games in August.

Sixteen teams are split into four groups of four in the men's draw and the top two from each group will qualify for the quarter-finals.

In the women's competition, there are three groups of four.

The top two teams in each pool and the top two third-placed teams will progress to the knockout rounds.

Great Britain will not have a team in Beijing because the International Olympic Committee does not recognise separate teams from Britain's four home nations.
