We’ve waited four long years, but Rio 2016 Olympics is right around the corner! The XXXI Olympiad Games are a major, international, multi-sport event that are due to take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from August 5^th to the 21^st.

However, one particular sport, loved my billions, starts 2 days early with the Women’s Olympic Soccer beginning on August 3^rd and the Men’s Olympic Soccer on the 4^th! Ending on 19^th and 20^th respectively, the closing ceremonies will then take place on the 21^st of August.

This year’s games are setting a bunch of records with a record number of countries participating in a record number of sports! More than 10,500 athletes will compete for 306 sets of medals in 28 Olympic sports.  First time entrants include Kosovo and South Sudan, and new sports include rugby sevens and gold.  Not only that, but Rio de Janeiro will become the first South American city to host the Summer Olympics!

Each of the Olympic soccer games will be held in one of 7 venues in 6 major cities throughout Brazil:

• Amazônia Arena in Manaus
• Corinthians Arena in São Paulo
• Fonte Nova Arena in Salvador
• Mané Garrincha Stadium in Brasília
• Maracenã in Rio de Janeiro
