Japan and Mexico will face off for the bronze medal at the 2021 Olympics in men’s soccer on Friday at Saitama Stadium in Saitama, Japan.
Host nation Japan and Mexico will play for the bronze medal at the men’s Olympic soccer tournament on Friday at Saitama Stadium in the city of Saitama.
As a result of losing to Spain 1-0, Japan will now contend for third place, while Mexico was bested by defending Olympic champions Brazil 4-1 on penalty kicks in the other semifinal.
The 16 men’s teams are limited to players under the age of 24 for this tournament (normally 23 since the 1992 Barcelona Games), but a year was added on after the Olympics were postponed last year because of the pandemic. Teams are allowed to field three overage players.
Brazil, which hosted the Olympics in 2016, won its first gold medal in history in Rio. The team, featuring Neymar, used the home support to their advantage and avenge their dismal showing at home just two years earlier at the World Cup.
