Brazil will be guided by the legendary Marta, who has scored 118 goals in 183 appearances for the Samba Girls.
The Super Falcons will also face current world champions Spain and former world champions Japan in the same group.
Randy Waldrum’s team suffered a 1-0 loss to Canada in their sole friendly match before the Olympics.
