Watch Brazil vs Spain women's football semi-final at Olympics 2024 for what should be another really high-quality affair. Below we have all the information on how to watch Brazil vs Spain women's football at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters, free streams and start times.

Much of the talk around Brazil has been about the impending retirement of Marta. The legendary forward quits international football this year and starts on the bench today. Every game could be the last time we see her in a Brazil shirt. Not surprisingly, she was devastated when she was sent off, ironically, against Spain. Her teammates got the job done against France in the quarters, though, so we have at least another 90 minutes of Brazil’s all-time leading goalscorer.

La Roja are the world champions and are more than capable of adding an Olympic title to the growing collection of accolades. Stars like Jenni Hermoso and Aitana Bonmatí start, while Alexia Putellas is on the bench. Salma Paralluelo is proving difficult to beat in goal too. They needed penalties to overcome Colombia in the quarter-finals and the lack of recovery time could be an issue, but their win in the group game over Brazil should give the Europeans some confidence.

Here's how they line up:

Brazil: Lorena; Thais,Tarciane, Lauren Leal; Ludmila, Alonso Angelina (c), Yaya, Yasmim; Priscila, Gabi Portilho, Jheniffer.

Spain: Cata Coll; Ona Batlle, Irene Paredes (c), Laia Codina, Olga Carmona; Aitana Bonmatí, Teresa Abelleira, Jenni Hermoso; Eva Navarro, Salma Paralluelo, Mariona Caldentey
