At the [[1908 Summer Olympics]] in [[London]], England, an official [[association football|football]] tournament between national representative selections was contested for the first time; football had been played between club teams at the Games of 1900 and 1904.<ref>[https://www.fifa.com/tournaments/mens/mensolympic/london1908/match-center Olympic Football Tournament London 1908], FIFA.com</ref><ref name="SR">{{cite web|url=https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/summer/1908/FTB/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200417050310/https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/summer/1908/FTB/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=17 April 2020 |title=Football at the 1908 London Summer Games |work=Sports Reference |access-date=29 September 2018}}</ref>

Like the [[Hockey at the 1908 Summer Olympics|hockey tournament]], the rules allowed countries to enter up to four separate teams. Unlike hockey, [[Scotland]], [[Wales]] and [[Ireland]] did not enter teams.
There were eight entries, including two from [[French Third Republic|France]] (the [[France national football team|main team]] and a [[France national football B team|B team]]).<ref>[http://en.espn.co.uk/olympic-sports/sport/story/162086.html Great Britain's first home Olympic football adventure] by Jon Carter on ESPN, 26 July 2012</ref> [[Hungary national football team|Hungary]] and [[Bohemia national football team|Bohemia]] both withdrew after the draw and appointment of referees, leaving six teams to contest the tournament.

[[Great Britain men's Olympic football team|Great Britain]] won the gold medal representing the United Kingdom ([[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland|Great Britain and Ireland]]), although all the players were from England.

[[Sophus Nielsen|Sophus "Krølben" Nielsen]] of Denmark set a record by scoring 10 goals in a 17–1 win over France A. The famous mathematician [[Harald Bohr]], brother of the even more famous [[Niels Bohr]], also played for [[Denmark national football team|Denmark]], who won the silver medal.

== Tournament ==
The matches:<ref>[https://www.rsssf.org/tableso/ol1908f.html Games of the IV. Olympiad - Football Tournament (London, England, October 19 - 24, 1908)] by Lars Aarhus on the RSSSF</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20110507234700/http://www.iffhs.de/?35bb6b28a76055ae1817f7370eff3702bb0a09 Olympic Tournament - 1908 London] on IFFHS</ref>

With eight entries, the tournament draw had a full quarterfinal round of four matches.

However, after the draw and appointment of referees, {{flagIOC|HUN|1908 Summer}} (on 12 October) and {{flagIOC|BOH|1908 Summer}} (on 14 October) were both forced to withdraw due to financial reasons: their opponents, the Netherlands and France respectively, were awarded a 2–0 victory.

===Bronze medal match===
Originally, all six teams eliminated before the final were to participate in a consolation tournament for the bronze medal, with two first-round matches to be played on 21 October between the four quarter-final losers.

After [[Hungary national football team|Hungary]] and [[Czechoslovakia national football team|Bohemia]] both  withdrew, the first round was scratched on 15 October, with [[France national football B team|France B]] and [[Sweden men's national football team|Sweden]] qualifying for the semi-finals of the consolation tournament.

France B, Sweden, and the two semi-final losers, [[France national football team|France]] and the [[Netherlands national football team|Netherlands]], were scheduled to play the semi-finals on 23 October: the French teams were drawn against each other, and the Netherlands were drawn against Sweden, with the winners playing off in the bronze medal match prior to the gold medal match on 24 October.

However, both French teams had returned home immediately after their crushing defeats to Denmark on 19 October and 22 October: therefore, their semi-final and the 24 October bronze medal match were both scratched, with the Netherlands v Sweden semi-final becoming the bronze medal match.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tableso/ol1908f-det.html|title=Consolation tournament (tournament for third place and bronze medals)|website=RSSSF|date=15 June 2022|access-date=16 June 2022}}</ref>
