Brazil's Olympic Football Squad Is Seriously Stacked

Brazil have announced their squad for the Olympic football tournament and it's fair to say it's seriously stacked.

The hosts have pulled no punches and have named a host of big names in their squad, sacrificing their Copa America Centenario chances in order to go all the way and win the whole thing.

Neymar was controversially omitted from the Copa America squad and the Barcleona superstar will look to lead this Olympic side to glory. He'll be backed up by Bayern Munich's lightning quick winger Douglas Costa, Lazio's Felipe Anderson, Barcelona's Rafinha and PSG defender Marquinhos.

With such a stacked squad, Brazil are undoubtedly the favourites for the tournament and have a favourable group comprising of South Africa, Iraq and Denmark.

Here is the squad in full:
