Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Football and rugby matches at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games will begin Wednesday ahead of Friday’s opening ceremony.<\/p>\n

The Argentina vs. Morocco at the Geoffroy-Guichard Stadium in Saint-Etienne, and the Uzbekistan vs. Spain at Paris’ Parc des Princes, both to kick-off at 1300GMT, will be the first football matches of the summer games.<\/p>\n

Rugby sevens will also start with the match between Australia and Samoa at 1330GMT at the Stade de France, Saint-Denis.<\/p>\n

The Paris 2024 Olympics will start on Friday with an exceptional opening ceremony across the River Seine.<\/p>\n

It will be the first time that an opening ceremony of the Olympics will not be held at a stadium.<\/p>\n

Israel, after they were allowed to play at the Paris 2024 Games despite the country’s ongoing war on Gaza, will face Mali in a Wednesday football match at Parc des Princes.<\/p>\n

In previous months, there were global calls to ban Israel from the Olympics.<\/p>\n

From rights groups to athletes, demands are growing for a boycott of Israel over the atrocities taking place in the Gaza Strip, which have led to the death of more than 39,000 Palestinians since Oct. 7 last year.<\/p>\n
