The IP address or range 52.54.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests.

==History==

===Pre-World Cup era===

====Beginnings====
Football was not included in the program at the first modern [[Olympic Games]] in [[Athens]] in 1896, as international football was in its infancy at the time. However, sources claim that an unofficial football tournament was organised during the first competition, with participating teams including Athens and [[Smyrna]] ([[İzmir]]), then part of the [[Ottoman Empire]].{{sfn|Goldblatt|2008|p=243}} However, according to [[Bill Mallon]]'s research, this is an error which has been perpetuated in multiple texts.<ref>{{cite book |author1=Mallon, Bill |author2=Widlund, Ture |title=The 1896 Olympic Games. Results for All Competitors in All Events, with Commentary |location=Jefferson |publisher=McFarland |year=1998 |isbn=0-7864-0379-9 |page=[https://archive.org/details/resultsofearlymo00mall/page/118 118] | url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/resultsofearlymo00mall}}</ref>

Tournaments were played at the [[1900 Summer Olympics|1900]] and [[1904 Summer Olympics|1904]] games and the [[Intercalated Games]] of [[1906 Intercalated Games|1906]], but these were contested by various clubs and scratch teams.{{sfn|Goldblatt|2008|p=243}} Although the [[International Olympic Committee|IOC]] considers the 1900 and 1904 tournaments to be official Olympic events, they are not recognised by [[FIFA]], and neither recognises the Intercalated Games today. In 1900 the competition was won by the London amateurs of Upton Park FC, representing Great Britain. The 1904 tournament was won by Canada, represented by Galt FC.

====British successes====
In the [[London]] Games of [[1908 Summer Olympics|1908]] a proper international tournament was organised by [[the Football Association]], featuring just six teams. The number of teams rose to eleven in [[1912 Summer Olympics|1912]], when the competition was organised by the [[Swedish Football Association]]. Many of these early matches were unbalanced, as evidenced by high scoring games; two players, [[Sophus Nielsen]] in 1908 and [[Gottfried Fuchs]] in 1912, each scored ten goals in a single match. All players were [[Amateur sports|amateur]]s, in accordance with the Olympic rules, which meant that countries could not send their full senior national teams. The National Olympic Committee for [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland|Great Britain and Ireland]] asked the Football Association to send an [[English national amateur football team|English national amateur team]]. Some of the English members played with professional clubs, most notably [[Derby County F.C.|Derby County]]'s [[Ivan Sharpe]], Bradford City F.C. Harold Walden and [[Chelsea Football Club|Chelsea]]'s [[Vivian Woodward]]. England won the first two official tournaments convincingly, beating [[Denmark national football team|Denmark]] both times.

====1920s and the rise of Uruguay====
[[File:Uruguay 1928 olympics.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The [[Uruguay national football team]] that won the 1928 Olympic tournament]]
During the 1920 final against Belgium, the Czechoslovakia national football team walked off the field to protest the refereeing of John Lewis{{sfn|Goldblatt|2008|p=244}} and the militarised mood within the stadium in Antwerp. This would be the final all-European football competition at the Olympic games, with Egypt, the United States, and Uruguay participating in 1924.{{sfn|Goldblatt|2008|p=244}} With teams from new regions the quality of play increased, as did fan interest.{{sfn|Goldblatt|2008|p=244}} Uruguay dominated the tournament, winning their four games by a combined score of 15-1: the final was a 3–0 victory over Switzerland.{{sfn|Goldblatt|2008|p=244}} In 1928, football was the most popular event at the games{{sfn|Goldblatt|2008|p=247}} and the final was an all-South American affair. Because no other major international tournament existed yet, Uruguay defeated Argentina 2–1 in what [[David Goldblatt (writer)|David Goldblatt]] says was "football's first world championship".{{sfn|Goldblatt|2008|p=246}} After these tournaments, FIFA realized that the Olympic movement prevented nations from competing on an equal footing and, given that the Olympics only permitted amateurs to participate, did not represent the true strength of the international game. The popularity of international soccer gave FIFA the incentive to create an international tournament, and FIFA began organising the World Cup.{{sfn|Goldblatt|2008|p=247}}

===After the first World Cup===

====Tumultuous '30s====
Following [[Jules Rimet]]'s proposal in 1929 to initiate a professional [[FIFA World Cup|World Championship]] of Football, the sport was dropped from the [[1932 Summer Olympics|1932 Los Angeles Games]] by FIFA in an attempt to promote the new tournament. Football returned to controversy at the [[1936 Summer Olympics|1936 Berlin Games]]. The German organisers were intent on the return of the game to the Olympic movement since it guaranteed income into the organisation's coffers. The Italian team intimidated a referee. [[Peru]] scored a contested victory over [[Austria]] in overtime, with a fan invasion of the field at the very end.  The Austrian team asked for the result to be annulled, and the game repeated. FIFA agreed, but the Peruvian team refused and left the Olympics.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2011/nov/24/forgotten-story-football-1936-olympics |title=The forgotten story of ... football, farce and fascism at the 1936 Olympics |work=The Guardian |first=Paul |last=Doyle |date=24 November 2011|access-date = 17 December 2016|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20141209235152/http://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2011/nov/24/forgotten-story-football-1936-olympics|archive-date = 9 December 2014|url-status = live}}</ref><ref name="La Republica, ''Controversia''">{{cite web |title=Controversia – Berlín 36.

====Soviet Bloc dominance amid amateurism controversy====
As professionalism spread around the world, the gap in quality between the World Cup and the Olympics widened. The countries that benefited most were the [[Soviet Bloc]] countries of [[Eastern Europe]], where top athletes were state-sponsored while retaining their status as amateurs. As a result, young Western amateurs had to face seasoned and veteran Soviet Bloc teams, which put them at a significant disadvantage. All Olympic football tournaments from 1948 to 1980 were dominated by the Soviet Union and its satellites.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ozfootball.net/museum/ronlord.html |title=Australian Online Soccer Museum |access-date=3 November 2006 |url-status = dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051103005233/http://www.ozfootball.net/museum/ronlord.html |archive-date=3 November 2005}}</ref> Between [[1948 Summer Olympics|1948]] and [[1980 Summer Olympics|1980]], 23 out of 28 Olympic medals were won by Eastern Europe, with only [[Sweden men's national football team|Sweden]] (gold in 1948 and bronze in 1952), [[Denmark national football team|Denmark]] (bronze in 1948 and silver in 1960) and [[Japan national football team|Japan]] (bronze in 1968) breaking their dominance. The next two tournaments saw some changes due to FIFA's changing of the call-up rules, with only Yugoslavia (bronze in 1984) and the Soviet Union (gold in 1988) winning medals for the Eastern Bloc.

====Changes and developments====
For the [[1984 Summer Olympics|1984 Los Angeles Games]], the [[IOC]] decided to admit professional players, however, [[FIFA]] still did not want the Olympics to rival the World Cup.

A compromise was struck that allowed teams from countries outside of [[UEFA]] and [[CONMEBOL]] to field their strongest sides, while restricting UEFA and CONMEBOL (the strongest confederations whose teams had played all finals and won every single World Cup title) countries to players who had not played in a World Cup.<ref>{{Cite web |date=July 16, 1983 |title=Olympics Define Soccer Eligibility |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1983/07/16/sports/olympics-define-soccer-eligibility.html |access-date=September 15, 2024 |website=[[New York Times]] |page=20, Section 1}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Harvey |first=Randy |date=1986-12-12 |title=IOC Takes Pro  and  Con Positions on Pros |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1986-12-12-sp-2552-story.html |access-date=2024-09-15 |website=Los Angeles Times |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Litsky |first=Frank |date=March 30, 1986 |title=I.O.C.

The 1984 rules were maintained also for the 1988 edition, but with an additional rider: any European and South American footballers who had previously played less than 90 minutes in one single match of the World Cup, were eligible.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Football Tournament of the Olympic Games - Overview|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tableso/olympics.html|access-date=15 October 2021|website=[[RSSSF]]}}</ref>

===British non-involvement===
{{main|Great Britain men's Olympic football team|Great Britain women's Olympic football team}}
[[Football in the United Kingdom]] has no single governing body, and there are separate teams for the UK's four [[Home Nations]]: [[England national football team|England]], [[Northern Ireland national football team|Northern Ireland]], [[Scotland national football team|Scotland]] and [[Wales national football team|Wales]]. Further to this, only the English [[The Football Association|Football Association]] (FA) is affiliated to the [[British Olympic Association]] (BOA), and the FA entered "Great Britain" teams to the football tournaments until 1972.

In 1950, the FA abolished the distinction between "amateur" and "professional" football, and ceased to enter the Olympics. Even though FIFA has allowed professionals at the Olympics since 1984, the FA did not re-enter, as the Home Nations were concerned that a united British Olympic team would set a precedent that might cause FIFA to question their separate status in other FIFA competitions, and even their status on or the existence of the [[International Football Association Board]].<ref name="scottishfa.co.uk">{{Cite web |url=http://www.scottishfa.co.uk/news.cfm?newsid=4029&pageid=155&back=1 |title=The Scottish Football Association |access-date=12 August 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080809121330/http://www.scottishfa.co.uk/news.cfm?newsid=4029 |archive-date=9 August 2008 |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>http://www.newsletter.co.uk/sport/YOUR-VIEWS-Olympic-football-threat.4327759{{Dead link|date=September 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

For the [[Football at the 2020 Summer Olympics|2020 tournament]], FIFA stated that the women's UK team (not applied to the men's UK team) may enter the Olympics after the four FAs agreed, depending on the performance of [[England women's national football team|women's English team]] in [[2019 FIFA Women's World Cup]] (which serves as the European qualification for the Olympics). This brought women's football under the BOA jurisdiction in line with the long-standing qualification rules in [[field hockey]] and [[rugby sevens]], although the home nation's sevens teams were subsumed into a standing Great Britain team in 2022.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.fifa.com/womensworldcup/news/y=2018/m=10/news=organising-committee-takes-important-decisions-on-fifa-women-s-world-cup.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181001184011/https://www.fifa.com/womensworldcup/news/y=2018/m=10/news=organising-committee-takes-important-decisions-on-fifa-women-s-world-cup.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=1 October 2018 |title=Organising Committee takes important decisions on FIFA Women's World Cup |publisher=FIFA|website=FIFA.com |date=1 October 2018|access-date=20 December 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45712449 |title=Tokyo 2020 Olympics: Home nations agree to GB women's football team |website=BBC Sport |date=1 October 2018|access-date=20 December 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181128035143/https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45712449|archive-date=28 November 2018|url-status=live}}</ref>

==Venues==
{{main|List of Olympic venues in football}}

Due to the number of large stadia required for the Olympic tournament, venues in distant cities&nbsp;– often more than {{convert|200|km|mi|abbr=on}} away from the main host&nbsp;– are typically used for the football tournament. In an extreme example, two early-round venues for the [[Football at the 1984 Summer Olympics|1984 Games]] were on the East Coast of the United States, well over {{convert|2,000|mi|km}} from the host city of [[Los Angeles]]. The next Games held in the United States, the [[Football at the 1996 Summer Olympics|1996 Games]], were unique in that no matches were held in the host city of [[Atlanta]]; the nearest venue and [[Sanford Stadium|the site of the finals]] was {{convert|65|mi|km}} away on the [[University of Georgia]] campus in [[Athens, Georgia|Athens]]. Counting the [[2016 Summer Olympics|2016]] and [[2020 Summer Olympics]], there are 127 venues that have hosted Olympic football, the most of any sport.

==Competition format==
From the [[1992 Summer Olympics]] Football games always start before the opening ceremony because of the event's calendar which needs to be longer than other sports. Since 1996, football starts two days before the games opening ceremonies and since then it is a common condition for some sports.

For both the men's and women's tournaments, the competition consists of a round-robin group stage followed by a knockout stage. Teams are placed into groups of 4 teams, with each team playing each other team in its group once. Teams earn 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss. The top two teams in each group (as well as the top two third-place finishers, in the women's tournament) advance to the knockout rounds. The knockout rounds are a single-elimination tournament consisting of quarterfinals, semifinals, and the gold and bronze medal matches.

Matches consist of two halves of 45 minutes each. Since 2004, during the knockout rounds, if the match is tied after 90 minutes, two 15-minute halves of extra time are played (extra time is skipped in favour of immediate penalty kicks in the bronze medal match if it is played on the same day in the same stadium as the gold medal match). If the score remains tied, penalty kicks, which is 5 rounds, plus extra rounds if tied, are used to determine the winner.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://resources.fifa.com/mm/document/tournament/competition/02/54/40/46/oftsregulationsrio2016-e_neutral.pdf |title=Regulations for the Olympic Football Tournaments  |access-date=1 August 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160820102830/http://resources.fifa.com/mm/document/tournament/competition/02/54/40/46/oftsregulationsrio2016-e_neutral.pdf |archive-date=20 August 2016 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

The qualifying tournament, like that for the World Cup, is organised along continental lines. Most continental confederations organise a special Under-23 qualifying tournament, although the European qualifiers are drawn from the finalists of the [[UEFA Under-21 Championship]]. Teams participating in the preliminary and final competitions must be composed of U-23 players, with up to three players who are at least 23. For Paris 2024, U-23 players were born after 1 January 2001.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.concacaf.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/FIFA-Regulations-for-the-Olympic-Football-Tournament-Games-of-the-XXXI-Olympiad-Rio-de-Janeiro-2016.pdf |title=REGULATIONS for the Olympic Football Tournaments|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150906113402/http://www.concacaf.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/FIFA-Regulations-for-the-Olympic-Football-Tournament-Games-of-the-XXXI-Olympiad-Rio-de-Janeiro-2016.pdf|archive-date=6 September 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The women's tournament is contested between the full senior national teams, with no restrictions.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Harvey |first=Randy |date=1993-09-19 |title=IOC to Welcome Palestine : Olympics: Two decades after Munich massacre, executive committee recommends membership. |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1993-09-19-sp-36871-story.html |access-date=2024-09-15 |website=Los Angeles Times |language=en-US}}</ref> One place is reserved for the host country. Of the remaining teams, as in World Cup contests, a specific number of places are reserved for teams from each continental region; the European (UEFA) teams until 2020 are chosen from the most successful European teams in the previous year's [[FIFA Women's World Cup|World Cup]]; the [[UEFA Women's Nations League]] which its finals is held in the same year as the Olympics was used from 2024, while the other continental regions host their own qualifying tournaments in the build-up to the Olympics.

The first women's tournament was at the [[1996 Summer Olympics|1996 Atlanta Games]]. The United States won the gold medal. {{wnft|Norway}} defeated the U.S. in 2000 by a [[golden goal]] that was highly controversial and seemed like a handball, but was allowed to stand.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Lewis |first1=Samantha |title=Julie Foudy remembers USWNT's Sydney 2000 Gold Medal match: 'I can't even watch that game again' |url=https://www.espn.com/soccer/womens-olympic-tournament/story/4190714/julie-foudy-remembers-uswnts-sydney-2000-gold-medal-match-on-20th-anniversary |access-date=31 August 2021 |work=ESPN |date=September 28, 2020}}</ref> The finals of the next two tournaments, in [[Football at the 2004 Summer Olympics – Women's tournament|2004]] and [[Football at the 2008 Summer Olympics – Women's tournament|2008]], also went to extra time, with the U.S. defeating {{wnft|Brazil}} both times. In [[Football at the 2012 Summer Olympics – Women's tournament|2012]] the U.S. won their fourth gold medal defeating Japan 2–1 in the final. In 2016 [[Germany women's national football team|Germany]] won its first gold, defeating in the final [[Sweden women's national football team|Sweden]], who upset in the succession the U.S. and hosts Brazil.  In 2020, [[Canada women's national soccer team|Canada]] won gold on penalties over Sweden, having previously also beaten Brazil and the U.S.

Allocation of places for each continent in the [[2024 Summer Olympics|2024 Games]] was:
*[[UEFA|Europe]] – 3 (includes host [[France women's national football team|France]])
*[[Confederation of African Football|Africa]] – 2
*[[Asian Football Confederation|Asia]] – 2
*[[CONMEBOL|South America]] – 2 
*[[CONCACAF|North America]] – 2
*[[Oceania Football Confederation|Oceania]] – 1
