Great Britain Women's Olympic Football Team
The Great Britain women's Olympic football team (also known as Team GB; or occasionally Great Britain and Northern Ireland) represents the United Kingdom in the women's football tournament at the Olympic Games.

The team reached the quarter-finals, losing to Canada. FIFA stated that they would not allow entry ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
