The France 2024 Olympics squad has the hopes of a nation resting on their shoulders, as they gun for gold at their home Games.
Managed by Thierry Henry, the France 2024 Olympics squad is full of talent, and unquestionably head into the tournament as one of the favourites. They're also captained by Lacazette, who is of course one of the three overage players in the France 2024 Olympics squad.
The other two permitted over 23 players are Sevilla defender Loic Bade and Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta, the latter of whom will want to continue his strong connection with Michael Olise on home soil this summer.
While Olise has recently completed a big-money summer move to Bayern Munich, the winger will look to link up with Mateta to the same devastating effect they managed in the Premier League.
Despite the stipulations on player ages at the Olympics, Desire Doue is, intriguingly, the only outfielder in the squad who is still a teenager. He's clearly got bundles of talent, though, with a number of European clubs keeping tabs on him following his impressive displays for Rennes.
The highly-impressive Manu Kone, of Borussia Monchengladbach, and Rayan Cherki, of Lyon, have also been included in the France 2024 Olympics squad, where they will play the United States, Guinea and New Zealand in the group stages.
This is the first time since 1996 that the men's side have competed in the Olympic Games. They reached the quarter-finals on that occasion, but Henry and his side will hope to replicate the gold medal the 1984 team managed 40 years ago.
