The women's tournament is a full international tournament with no restrictions on age. Each team has to submit a squad of 18 players, two of whom must be goalkeepers. Each team can also name a list of four alternate players, who can replace any player in the squad in case of injury during the tournament.[4]
On 3 April 2024, FIFA released the list of match referees that would officiate at the Olympic Games.[5]

The draw for the tournament was held on 20 March 2024, 20:00 CET (UTC+1), at the Pulse building in Saint-Denis, France.[6][7]
The 12 teams were drawn into three groups of four teams. The hosts France were automatically seeded into Pot 1 and assigned to position A1 while the remaining teams were seeded into their respective pots based on the FIFA Women's World Rankings released on 15 March 2024 (shown in parentheses below). No group could contain more than one team from each confederation.
| Pot 1 | Pot 2 | Pot 3 | Pot 4[a] |

Notes
The competing countries were divided into three groups of four teams, denoted as groups A, B, and C. Teams in each group play one another in a round-robin basis, with the top two teams of each group and the two best third-placed teams advancing to the quarter-finals.
All times are local, CEST (UTC+2).[8]
