New fun Copa America announcement!

Usually only the champion of Copa America goes to the Olympics—CONMEBOL announced today that both 1st and 2nd place nations will have a spot in the Paris Olympics.

We love to see it!

Ok can we talk about Chile qualifying for their first Olympics?

WE ABSOLUTELY CAN! Cameroon really gave them hell and they fought for this ticket tooth and nail man. Honestly huge kudos to Chile for sticking to the plan and defending their Aggregate. I'm also excited to see Cameroon build on this, because they were really showing grit.

Nothing but good woso going into this Olympics.

CONGRATULATIONS ON QUALIFYING FOR YOUR FIRST OLYMPICS CHILE!

I remember watching the semi finals and finals of the 2019 WC but I didn't really get invested into woso until mid january 2020 so I'm kinda confused on how the qualifying process works (both for WC and olympics) Over quarantine I spent a lot of time watching uswnt games from mid/late 2018 leading up to the WC, and late 2019 games leading up to olympics but I'm still confused because there's like 3 training camps, a believing tournament thingy (?) and then a qualifying tournament. I guess with all the games and rosters moving around I get confused. How does the qualifying process work and is She Believes a part of the process or...?

Hey there, this is a great question. Everytime I say that you should expect a long ass post, so buckle up.

The number of camps and stuff does not really make a difference. Every national team can hold as many camps as they want, provided their players are released by the clubs. For players in the international market, teams usually won't release them except for FIFA dates (friendly games or qualifying events), because they don't want their players risking unnecessary injuries or strains. This is why for the US at least it's good that a chunk of their NT core plays in the nwsl, since the NT allocated players aren't paid or under contract by their league teams and can therefore be called up whenever USSF/the USWNT feels like it—horrible for the health of the league and a big reason why NT players do whatever the hell they want with their trades and make it miserable for their teams when it comes to trading season—but I digress.

Olympics qualifiers work like this: There's 12 teams in total. The hosts of the Olympics automatically qualify for a spot and the other 11 spots are up for grabs and they qualify through tournaments in their continental confederations:

1 goes to CONMEBOL (South America): the spot is decided with the winner of Copa America—more later on the runner up

2 to CONCACAF (Central and North America): through Olympic qualifier tournament.

1 to the CAF (Africa): with Olympic qualifier tournament—more later on the runner up

1 to OFC(Oceania): with the Nations Cup

2 to the AFC (Asia ft Australia): Olympic Qualifier Tournament, top 2 teams qualify—they also have one representative already with Japan being the host

3 go to UEFA: these spots are decided by who made it the furthest in the world cup. The current Olympic Gold Champions, Germany, won't be able to defend their medal since they got knocked out by Sweden. There's also a little part where Britain secured their spot BUT according to IOC rules of membership Britain doesn't qualify as a country, its the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Therefore, Scottish, Irish and Welsh players are available for the GB Olympic Roster, not just the Lionesses roster.

That leaves us with:

UEFA: the UK, Sweden and the Netherlands are qualified for the Olympics and gold medal winners Germany will have to watch from home.

CONMEBOL: Brazil won Copa América and therefore qualified for the CONMEBOL spot. The runner up, Chile, will go to a playoff game with the runner up of the CAF qualifying tournament.

CONCACAF: No surprises here, the US and Canada qualified through the Olympic tournament. This is NOT Shebelieves which is just a tournament the US hosts that has no bearing on Olympic standings.

CAF: Zambia placed first in the Olympic qualifier and earned their spot right away. The runner up, Cameroon, will move on to a playoff game with Chile.

OFC: New Zealand won the Nation's cup and therefore qualified for the Olympics.

AFC: Again no surprises, Australia qualified for the Olympics by placing first in the qualifying tournament. The 2nd spot will be a tie-breaking game between South Korea and China, and whoever wins will be the runner up for the AFC qualifiers and therefore the 2nd qualified for this confederation (third if you count Japan which, again, qualified automatically since they're hosting the Olympics)

CONMEBOL-CAF PLAYOFF: Chile and Cameroon are scheduled to play mid/late February to decide which team gets to go to the Olympics from these two confederations.

This thing is already getting long but every confederation has its own rules to qualify and certain number of spots, the host nation doesn't count towards the spots, and it works the same way for the World Cup Qualifiers which I know you kind of asked about but this seemed more pressing? if you want me to break that one down (and it's more extensive bc there's 32 spots, not 12) I Def can! Thanks for the question

Canada finished with a 1-2 record after defeating Hungary 67-55 Thursday and falling to Spain 60-55 Friday.

Three of the four teams in the event will advance to the 2024 Paris Games.

All four teams entered the last day of tournament play with identical 1-1 records. Japan advanced, meaning Canada will now need Spain to defeat Hungary later Sunday in order to qualify.
