Despite falling short to Egypt in the final Group C clash, Spain rebounded impressively against a formidable Japanese team, securing a commanding 3-0 victory in Lyon. Spearheaded by Barcelona's rising star Fermin Lopez, whose goals were both impressive and spectacular, La Roja displayed their prowess. Girona's new recruit Abel Ruiz also made his mark, contributing to Spain's smooth progress into the semifinals.

Having clinched Olympic gold on home soil in 1992 and reaching the final in Sydney 2000, Spain now eyes the ultimate prize: surpassing their second-place finish from three years ago in Japan, where they lost to Brazil in the final. With talents like Eric Garcia, eager to make amends after coming close previously, Spain aims to replicate the success of their senior team at Euro 2024.

Their path to the Paris podium requires overcoming Morocco first, a team buoyed by their own historic semifinal berth, mirroring the national squad's recent achievements. Led by captain Achraf Hakimi, who played a pivotal role in their memorable run at Qatar 2022, Morocco's Olympic squad, including top scorer Soufiane Rahimi, is determined to extend their impressive form. They face stiff competition, with potential matchups against Egypt or hosts France looming in the final.
