Olympic Soccer 2021: Canada vs. Sweden Live Stream and Form Guide

Sweden and Canada both came up just short of standing atop the podium at the end of the women's soccer tournament at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

The Swedes lost to Germany in the final and took home the silver, while the Canadians lost in the semifinals and had to settle for third place after beating Brazil in the bronze medal match.

This year, one of those two countries will be winning the gold, something that neither nation has done since women's soccer was added to the Games schedule in 1996.

The gold medal match between Sweden and Canada will take place Friday in Tokyo (airing live Thursday night in the Eastern Time Zone and West).
