There will be two names for Reading supporters to look out for at the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris, including a current favourite.

16 countries will enter the male competition while another 12 will face off in the women's competition, with matches getting underway on July 24.

Ironically, the two Reading links will face up against each other as Tyler Bindon's New Zealand have been drawn into Group A, alongside hosts France and starlet Michael Olise.

Breaking through with the Royals last season to register over 40 appearances and finish second in the Player of the Season poll, the 19-year-old already has 10 full caps to his name for his country.

In Group A, Bindon and New Zealand will face hosts France as well as USA and Guinea.

This honour will rule Bindon out of pre-season training with Ruben Selles side until at least August 1, with League One returning on August 10.

He will become the second Bindon to appear at the Olympic Games after his mother, Jenny, ran out for her country in the women's competition at the 2012 London Olympic Games.

Olise, now of Bayern Munich, will be among the biggest names lining up at the competition.

His switch from Crystal Palace earned the Royals a sell-on fee and he will become the second Reading youngster to feature for the Bavarian side after Omar Richards.
