2024 Paris Olympics: France vs Fiji headline rugby sevens as Antoine Dupont and company look to build on win over Uruguay and Canada take on New Zealand in women's football following drone controversy

In case you missed it, we have witnessed plenty of action already today.

The Dutch came out on top after a tight 34-31 affair against African champions Angola in the women's handball competition.

Whilst Denmark secured a 27-19 win against Denmark in the earlier games.

Don't worry if you missed it however as there is still plenty of handball action to come today.

Hosts and defending champions France play Hungary at 6pm, with Spain and Brazil in action at 1pm.

Today's handball fixtures:

Lets go girls!

As I mentioned before, it is the girls taking centre-stage in the football today.

Defending champions Canada come up against New Zealand.

Hosts France encounter Colombia in Lyon, whilst Emma Hayes will take charge of her first competitive game with the US against Zambia.

Football fixtures:

If you tuned in yesterday to the men's football, there might have been a lot of faces which you didn't recognise.

However if you are a fan of the women's game, there is no need to worry as all of the sport's greats will be featuring.

From Spain's Alexia Putellas and Aitana Bonmati to America's Mallory Swanson as well as the greatest female footballer of all time Marta.

Here at Mail Sport we have identified the football stars gracing the pitch at this year's Olympics.

The women's Olympic football compeitition starts today with all 12 teams in action.

Defending Olympic champions get their title defence underway against New Zealand in the opening game of the tournament.

However the game has already been shadowed by allegations from New Zealand that the Canadian team were spying on their training sessions with the use of drones.

Crazy... It seems that the Canadians learned nothing from Leeds United and Bielsa's spy gate.

Now Canada will head into the game without three members of their coaching staff including head coach Bev Prestmann.

Yesterday's men's football action was full of mayhem, scandal and just sheer utter madness.

On paper the men's game between Argentina and Morocco didn't seem to offer a particulary exciting game of football.

But wow, were we proven wrong - with the drama beginning even before the whistle had been blown as loud boos echoed around the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium as Argentina's national anthem was played out.

It came amidst the racism storm surrounding Argentina and Chelsea midfeilder Enzo Fernandez.

It didn't end there however as Morocco took a shock two goal lead but after 15 minutes of added time Argentina looked to claw back two of their own to manage a draw.

However two hours later, their equaliser was ruled out by VAR.

Today we could be in for even more drama with Canada vs New Zealand.

Oh boy are we in for a treat today!

Reigning sevens champions Fiji come up against hosts France in one of the many blockbuster games being played today.

The hosts have already qulified for the quarter-finals which take place later this evening despite a rocky start to the Games following their 12-12 draw against the USA in their opening game.

France who have their not so secret weapon Antoine Depont will continue their sevens Olympic journey today at 2:30pm.

Men's sevens fixtures:
