History

Football was not on the original modern Olympic Games programme, perhaps unsurprisingly, as international football was in its infancy in 1896. However an unofficial football tournament was organised during the first competition. Complete records have been lost but it seems that only two games may have been played. An Athens XI lost to a team representing Smyrna (Izmir), then part of the Ottoman Empire. Smyrna went on to be beaten 15-0 by a team from Denmark. Demonstration tournaments were played at the 1900 and 1904 games and the "Intercalated Games" of 1906, but these were contested by various clubs and scratch teams, and are not considered to be official Olympic events. In 1906 teams from Great Britain, Germany, Austria, Netherlands and France were withdrawn from an unofficial competition and left Denmark, Smyrna (one Armenian, two Frenchmen and eight Britons), Athens and Thessaloniki Music Club to compete. Denmark won the final against Athens 9-0. The five Olympic rings were designed in 1913, adopted in 1914 and debuted at the Games at Antwerp, 1920. ...

British successes

In the London Games of 1908 a proper international tournament was organised by the Football Association, featuring just six teams, rising to 11 in 1912 (at which event the competition was organised by the Swedish Football Association. These early matches were fairly unbalanced, as witnessed by some large scores; two players, Sophus Nielsen in 1908 and Gottfried Fuchs in 1912, each scored ten goals in a match, a record that stood for over 90 years. All players were amateurs, in accordance with the Olympic spirit, which meant that some countries could not send their full international team. Great Britain got around this problem by sending the England national amateur team (some of whom played with professional clubs within England, most notably Derby County's Ivan Sharpe and Chelsea's Vivian Woodward), who managed to win the first two official tournaments convincingly, beating Denmark on both occasions.

The 1920s and the rise of the Uruguayans

The competition became increasingly important throughout the 1920s, although that decade witnessed a bad day in the history of the Olympic movement when, during the 1920 final, Czechoslovakia walked from the field of play, in order to raise awareness of their displeasure regarding the refereeing of John Lewis and the militarised mood within the stadium in Antwerp. In both the 1924 and 1928 editions of the competition, the Olympic movement was given an almighty filip with the entrance of Uruguay and Argentina. The first of those teams were successful in both competitions (these were the only competitions that they have ever participated in) and FIFA became conscious that the Olympic movement was not only hindering the ability of nations to participate on an equal footing but, given that the Olympics only permitted amateurs to participate, was not representing the true strength of the international game.

The Olympics after the First World Cup

With Henri Delaunay's proposal, in 1929, to initiate a professional World Championship of football (hence the launch of the World Cup in Uruguay in 1930), FIFA did not want the Olympic tournament to overshadow their own showpiece event,^{[citation needed]} so football was dropped from the 1932 Los Angeles Games (the official reason was that the game was not popular in the United States), and it returned at the 1936 Berlin Games. The German organisers were intent on the return of the game to the Olympic movement since it guaranteed vital income into the organisation's coffers. In any event, it proved to be a considerable success, more so since the German national side was defeated by Norway in a second round match that was attended by Adolf Hitler. As professionalism spread around the world, the gap in quality between the two tournaments widened. The countries that benefited most were the Soviet Bloc countries of Eastern Europe, where the top athletes were state sponsored while retaining their status as "amateurs". Between 1948 and 1980, 23 out of 27 Olympic medals were won by Eastern European countries, with only Sweden (gold), Denmark (silver) and Japan (bronze) breaking their dominance. Henri Delaunay (died 9 November 1955) was a French football administrator. ... For the club competition, see FIFA Club World Cup. ...

Changes and developments

For the 1984 Los Angeles Games, the IOC felt a change was necessary to bring interest back, and decided to admit professional players. FIFA still did not want the Olympics to rival the World Cup, so a compromise was struck that allowed teams from Africa, Asia, Oceania, North America, Central America and the Caribbean to field their strongest professional sides, while only allowing UEFA and CONMEBOL teams to pick players who had not previously played in a World Cup. Many teams therefore fielded very young teams, including France, who won the 1984 Olympic title in between two semi-final appearances at World Cups.

The idea of youth teams found favour at both FIFA and the IOC, and since 1992 players must be under 23 years of age, with three over-23 players allowed per squad. The tournament is now effectively an "Under-23 World Cup", complementing FIFA's own tournaments at Under-20 and Under-17 levels. The new format allows teams from around the world to compete equally, and African and Asian countries have taken particular advantage of this, with Nigeria and Cameroon winning in 1996 and 2000 respectively.

Because of the unusual format, several of the historically strongest footballing countries have unimpressive Olympic records. The Netherlands won bronze in the first three tournaments, but has not reached the finals since 1952. Uruguay won the tournament in their first two attempts, in 1924 and 1928, but those are their only appearances. Argentina won silver twice before the 2004 Athens Games, but its appearance in Athens, in which it won the gold medal, was only their fifth overall. Brazil's two silver medals in the 1980s is the best they have achieved, and the men's team failed to qualify in 1992 and 2004. Hungary won three gold medals, in 1952, 1964 and 1968, but has not returned to the finals since 1996.

British non-involvement

Great Britain's performances declined after 1912, and its last appearance at the finals was in 1960, even if they participated in the qualifying competitions for the following tournaments. After 1974, when the Football Association abolished the distinction between "amateur" and "professional" football, Great Britain no longer entered the qualifying competition, and this continued after the change of format in 1984. The main obstacle these days to their participation is political, since the four UK nations - England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland - have separate international identities within FIFA, which includes a guaranteed position as Vice-Presidency on the FIFA Management Committee and have a 50% presence on the International Football Association Board (which sits annually to debate changes within the Laws of Association Football), but compete together as Great Britain in the Olympics. Producing a single team for the Olympics may lead to calls for the UK's special four-team status to be abolished altogether. Now London has been selected as the host for the 2012 Games there will be considerable pressure for the UK to field men's and women's teams for those games, an idea the Scottish Football Association have already distanced themselves from. One suggestion to resolve this is for the four nations to play a tournament with the winning team going on to represent the UK in the Olympics.

Due to the great number of large stadia required for the Olympic tournament, venues in distant cities - often more than 200 km (120 miles) away from the main host city - are typically used for the football tournament, especially in the early rounds. In an extreme example, two early-round venues for the 1984 Games were on the U.S. East Coast, well over 2,000 miles (3,200 km) from the host city of Los Angeles. The next Games held in the United States, the 1996 Games, were unique in that no matches were held in the host city of Atlanta; the nearest venue and the site of all finals was about 65 miles (105 km) away on the University of Georgia campus in Athens.
