Football legend Diego Maradona is expected to be present at the Beijing Workers Stadium to watch the high-profile semi-final match between Argentina and Brazil starting at 7:00pm BST today.
Maradona was present in the stadium to cheer Argentina during the quarter-final against the Netherlands. Argentina won 2-1 in extra time.
Argentina are the defending Olympic champions from the 2004 Athens Games but Brazil have never won an Olympic gold.
Lionel Messi of Argentina and his former Barcelona team-mate Ronaldinho of Brazil are regarded as the top players of the world and they will take on each other in the semis.
The match will see several club team-mates up against each other. Liverpool’s Javier Mascherano will play against his Brazilian club-mate Lucas, Marcelo of Brazil will find him in the same situation against his Real Madrid club-mate Gago.
