Following an agreement between the British Olympic Association (BOA) and The Football Association (FA), which operates the England team, the FA selected the British team, which could include players from across the United Kingdom.
Po dohode medzi Britskou olympijskou asociáciou (BOA) a Futbalovou asociáciou (FA), ktorá spravuje anglický tím, FA vytvorila spoločný britský tím s hráčkami z celého Spojeného kráľovstva.
