Football match

The CONCACAF play-off of the 2024 Women's Olympic Football Tournament qualification competition decided the second CONCACAF spot for the Olympic football tournament in France. Contested over two legs in September 2023 by the teams that finished second and third in the 2022 CONCACAF W Championship, Canada defeated Jamaica in both matches to qualify for its fifth consecutive Olympics.[1] The winner also qualified for the 2024 CONCACAF W Gold Cup.[2]

Qualified teams

CONCACAF was awarded two spots in the 2024 Women's Olympic Football Tournament by FIFA.[3] The first spot was awarded to the winner of the 2022 CONCACAF W Championship. The teams finishing second and third in the W Championship contested the play-off for the second qualification place.[2]

Format

The tie was played in a two-legged home-and-away format, with the runners-up of the W Championship, Canada, playing the second leg at home. The team that scored more goals on aggregate over the two legs qualified for the 2024 Summer Olympics, as well as the 2024 CONCACAF W Gold Cup while the loser entered qualification for the W Gold Cup.[2] If the aggregate score was level, the away goals rule would have been applied, i.e. the team that scores more goals away from home over the two legs would qualified. If away goals were also equal, then 30 minutes of extra time would have been played, though the away goals rule would not have been applied in extra time. If the score remained level after extra time, the winners would have been decided by a penalty shoot-out.[4]

Summary

The play-off matches took place on 22 and 26 September 2023.[5]
