	Football at the Summer Olympics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Football was not on the original modern Olympic Games programme; perhaps unsurprisingly, as international football was still in its infancy in 1896.
		With the launch of the Football World Cup in 1930, FIFA did not want the Olympic tournament to overshadow their own showpiece event, so football was dropped completely from the programme for the 1932 Los Angeles Games, although it returned at the 1936 Berlin Games.
		FIFA still did not want the Olympics to rival the World Cup, so a compromise was struck that allowed teams from Africa, Asia and Oceania to field their strongest professional sides, while only allowing European and American teams to pick players who had not previously played in a World Cup.
