Great Britain v Senegal takes place tonight as Team GB get their London 2012 Olympics campaign underway.

The game at Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium sees Stuart Pearce's side be the first to represent Great Britain at the Olympics since 1960.

Team GB face a tough test against Senegal and will be looking to improve on last Friday's warm-up game with Brazil, where the South Americans comfortably won 2-0, showing why they are one of the favourites to win gold at London 2012.

Team GB v Senegal kicks off at 19:45 BST and will air live in the UK on BBC One/BBC One HD.

All of Great Britain's Olympic games will be broadcast by the BBC as part of their comprehensive Olympic Games coverage.

The broadcaster will provide live coverage of every London 2012 sport from every venue throughout the day, with up to 24 live streams available each day.

The flagship Olympic channels, BBC One, BBC Two, BBC Three, BBC HD and BBC One HD will be dedicated to the event over the 17 days of competition.
