Football (Soccer) / Olympic Games

MEN 
The oldest and most traditional international tournament in world football. After serving as a demonstration sport at the first Olympic Games, the football tournament of the Olympic Games reached its peak in the 1920s when the tournament must be regarded as the world championship of that time (until 1920, competitors did not represent a country but a team, thus, there could be mixed teams, or two teams from the same country). However, with the introduction of a proper World Cup in 1930, the status of the tournament diminished. Especially, as only amateur players were allowed to participate, the tournament was for many years dominated by state amateurs from Eastern Europe. To counter this, and raise the status of Olympic football, professional players were allowed to participate inthe 1980s, though subject to certain restrictions, first regarding prior World Cup experience and then regarding player age (U 23). All this to avoid unnecessary competition with the FIFA World Cup.
