Football and rugby sevens group games get under way and there is an extraordinary double bill of France-USA action.
In men’s sevens, the hosts - whose team includes XVs captain Antoine Dupont - face the United States at 15:30. France’s men did not even take part in sevens at Tokyo 2020, although the women were silver medallists.
Then at 20:00, a French men’s football team coached by Thierry Henry take on the US in their opening group game in Marseille. The US men have not appeared at an Olympics since 2008 and have not won a medal since 1904.
