Below is a list of all Olympics 2016 Football broadcasters from across the world.

Overview

Japan take on Sweden in a must win clash for both teams if they are to have any chance of joining Nigeria in the quarter-finals of the football event in Rio. Even a win will not be enough for them to progress if Colombia beat Nigeria in their game that takes place simultaneously.

Japan, who are the reigning Asian U23 champions, were expected to progress beyond the group stages, but a shock 5-4 loss to Nigeria in the opening match, and a draw with Colombia has put them on the verge of an exit from the competition.

Similarly, Sweden also suffered a 1-0 loss to the African nation following their 2-2 draw against the South Americans in the opening encounter, which has taken their fate in the competition out of their hands. The Asians will be favourite to win the match, and it could turn out be an entertaining affair for the neutrals as both teams will be going for an outright win.

It is the first time Japan and Sweden will be facing each other in the Olympics. The Scandinavian nation are making their second appearance in the Olympics since it was converted to being an U23 tournament. Japan, on the other hand, are making their sixth appearance with their best finish coming at London 2012 when they finished in fourth place.
