Here’s a look back at the opening day of the Paris 2024 women’s football tournament for the Paris Saint-Germain internationals involved.

While France ran out 3-2 winners over Colombia – thanks in large part to a Marie-Antoinette Katoto brace – Korbin Albert played the second half of the United States' 3-0 victory over Zambia. Elsewhere, Clare Hunt's Australia were beaten 3-0 by Germany, while Jennifer Echegini's Nigeria lost 1-0 to Brazil.
