Team GB Olympics 2020 football squad: full women's team
Hege Riise has selected 22 players for the Team GB Olympics 2020 football squad in Tokyo, including four who took part in the 2012 Olympics
The Team GB Olympics 2020 football squad is in Tokyo to challenge for medals this summer.
Manager Hege Riise, who won gold for Norway in 2000, has selected a strong squad led by three captains – Steph Houghton, Sophie Ingle and Kim Little.
Four of the players, including Houghton and Little, have previous experience of the Olympics after reaching the quarter-finals nine years ago.
The current squad is dominated by English players, who take up all but three of the available places, with two Scots (Caroline Weir and Little) and a sole Welsh representative (Ingle).
With the exception of Houston Dash defender Rachel Daly, the rest of the squad compete in the Women’s Super League.
There are 10 players from Manchester City, five from champions Chelsea, and four from Arsenal, who finished third last season.
Everton and Manchester United contribute one player each – goalkeeper Sandy MacIver and forward Ella Toone respectively.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
