Last updated on .From the section OlympicsTeam GB are entering a women's team in the Olympics for just the second timeThe Olympics officially start in Tokyo on 23 July - but football, one of 33 sports to feature at the Games, kicks off two days earlier. Team GB have entered a women's team for the second time - and first since 2012, where they reached the quarter-finals in London. With a home European Championship taking place in England next year, the FA is hoping Team GB pick up a medal in Tokyo to further enhance the rapidly growing women's game. England and Arsenal defender Leah Williamson said: "To actually be here, with a Team GB squad even available to be in, it's literally beyond my wildest dreams. Canada, bronze medallists in 2012 and 2016, have named veteran Christine Sinclair, the all-time top scorer in international football, in their squad.
