Over the last few weeks, we’ve been following our Arsenal Women as they featured for their national teams at the Paris Olympics 2024. Here’s a recap of our Gunner women’s performances at the Olympics, which we, as Gooners, can be proud of.
Australia’s Caitlin Foord, Steph Catley, and Kyra Cooney-Cross, as well as their Matildas teammates, lost 3-0 to Germany on Match Day 1 and 2-1 to the USA on Match Day 3, resulting in their elimination in the group stages. Unfortunately, Germany eliminated the Canada team through penalties in the quarter-finals, despite Cloe Lacasse‘s team winning all their group stage matches.
Laia Codina and Mariona Caldentey finished fourth after Spain, whom they represented, lost 1-0 to Germany in the clash for bronze.
Other than these six Arsenal Women, honoured to be represented at the Olympics, Arsenal’s left back Emily Fox, who featured in every game for the USA women, who went on to win gold with a 1-0 win over Brazil in the Olympics final; a final they reached after beating every opponent they faced in Paris. We are pleased and proud of Emily Fox for bringing gold home!

Australia’s Matildas:
Catley: 3 appearances, 2 goals, and 2 assists

Unfortunatley, England’s Lionesses did not qualify for the Paris Olympics 2024, so Gunners Leah Williamson, Beth Mead, Alessia Russo and Lotte Wubben-Moy did not get the opportunity to represent Team GB.
