{{Football and futsal at the Olympics|1900}}
At the [[1900 Summer Olympics]], an [[association football]] tournament was contested for the first time. Only two matches were held between the three club sides, and no medals were awarded.

France's representatives were determined by the [[Union des Sociétés Françaises de Sports Athlétiques|USFSA]], which elected the [[Paris]]ian champion [[Club Français]].<ref name=rsssf/> For Belgium, after [[K.F.C. Rhodienne-De Hoek|Racing Club de Bruxelles]] declined to participate, a student selection with players from the [[Free University of Brussels (1834–1969)|Université libre de Bruxelles]] was sent by the Federation.<ref>[http://en.espn.co.uk/olympic-sports/sport/story/162086.html Great Britain's first home Olympic football adventure] by Jon Carter, ESPN, 26 June 2012</ref><ref name=brown>[https://medium.com/@paulbrownUK/before-the-world-cup-who-were-footballs-earliest-world-champions-8aebac11429a Before the World Cup: Who were football’s earliest world champions?] by Paul Brown on Medium Sports, 6 June 2018</ref> The team was reinforced with a few non-students. On the other hand, English club [[Upton Park F.C.]] represented [[United Kingdom|Great Britain]].<ref name=rsssf/><ref name=brown/>

The [[International Olympic Committee]] credits Great Britain, France and a "Mixed Team" with gold, silver and bronze medals, respectively, as part of its attempt to reconcile early Olympic Games with the modern award scheme.<ref name="oly2">{{cite web|title=Paris 1900 Football Men Results|url=https://www.olympic.org/paris-1900/football/football-men |website=Olympics.com|access-date=2 August 2021}}</ref> The Belgian team included one British and one Dutch player.

The football matches were held at the [[Vélodrome de Vincennes]] in [[Paris]].<ref name=rsssf>[https://www.rsssf.org/tableso/ol1900f.html Games of the II. Olympiad - Football Tournament] by Søren Elbech and Karel Stokkermans on the [[RSSSF]]</ref>

==Competition schedule==
Originally there were four matches scheduled for the [[1900 Summer Olympics|1900 Olympics]], all including a French team. As Switzerland and Germany eventually did not send a team, the match involving France and England was moved forward to 20 September.<ref name="rsssf" />

== Matches ==
In the first game, the British squad had little difficulty defeating the [[Club Français]] (wearing the [[Union des Sociétés Françaises de Sports Athlétiques|USFSA]] uniform). [[Upton Park F.C.|Upton Park]] led 2–0 after the first half, getting two more goals in the second to win 4–0. [[Gaston Peltier]] scored in the first minute to give the USFSA XI an early lead, but [[Free University of Brussels (1834–1969)|Université de Bruxelles]] scored twice to take a 2–1 first half lead. The French scored five goals in the second half, however, to take the match 6–2.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Olympedia – Football, Men – Match #2 |url=https://www.olympedia.org/results/33503 |access-date=2024-01-11 |website=www.olympedia.org}}</ref>
