Defending champions Canada have a point to prove as they take on Germany on Aug 3 in a bid to reach the semi-finals of the Olympic women's football tournament.
The Canadians have made the knockout stage in Paris despite a points deduction over a drone spying scandal.
Four-time gold medallists the United States and World Cup holders Spain are also in action in the last eight.
Canada's hopes of repeating their run to gold in Tokyo three years ago appeared to be over when they were docked six points by Fifa, as a punishment for using a drone to spy on a New Zealand training session.
They later won the match 2-1.
Coach Bev Priestman, who was reportedly aware of the incident that was carried out by members of her staff, was suspended for a year.
Despite all this, the Canadians beat Colombia 1-0 in Nice on July 31 to make it three wins out of three, hours after an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport against their penalty was dismissed.
