After winning all of their pool matches, it was no surprise when the Netherlands eased past Great Britain in the quarter-finals. The reigning Olympic champions now face a huge test today when they face the no.2 ranked side in the world Argentina. The Dutch will expect a fierce battle and will be looking for big performances from captain Xan de Waard and star midfielder Luna Fokke. 

Argentina had keeper Cristina Cosentino to thank as they edged past Germany in the quarter-finals and will likely need another star turn if they are to upset the Dutch. Las Leonas will also be looking to Agustina Gorzelany and Julieta Jankunas to provide a threat going forward as the duo have scored eight goals between them in Paris. 

The victor will play the winner of the other women's hockey semi-final, Belgium vs China. Here's where to watch Netherlands vs Argentina women’s hockey semi-final and all the 2024 Olympic hockey live streams online from anywhere – including FREE options.
