The teams that have qualified for the men's football semi-finals at the 2024 Olympics are hosts France, Spain, Morocco and Egypt. It can be seen that the semi-finals of the 2024 Olympics will be a battle between African and European football. Of the four teams in the semi-finals, France and Spain have won the championship. France won the men's football championship at the 1984 Olympics in the US. Since then, France's best achievement was reaching the quarter-finals at the 1996 Olympics, also in the US. Spain won the men's football gold medal at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona. Since then, Spain has won two more silver medals at the 2000 and 2020 Olympics. By reaching the semi-finals of the 2024 Olympics, Egyptian football has repeated the achievement they achieved at the 1964 Olympics. At this Olympics, Egypt (then the national team) reached the semi-finals before losing to Hungary - the team that later won the gold medal. As for Morocco, reaching the semi-finals of the 2024 Olympics is their best achievement in this arena. Morocco is a candidate for the 2024 Olympic gold medal. In the semi-finals, Morocco will face Spain, while France will face Egypt.

The 2024 Olympic men's football event will feature 16 teams: host France, the United States, the Dominican Republic (North Central America and the Caribbean), Spain, Israel and Ukraine (Europe), Morocco, Egypt, Mali, Guinea (Africa), New Zealand (Oceania), Paraguay, Argentina (South America), Japan, Uzbekistan, Iraq (Asia). According to experts, host France, Argentina, Spain and Morocco are the top candidates for the Olympic men's football gold medal. The Brazilian Olympic team is the reigning Olympic men's football champion but they failed to qualify. Of the 16 men's teams participating in the 2024 Olympics, only Argentina, France and Spain have won gold medals.
