TheArgentina Olympic football team(Argentina U-23since 1992) representsArgentinain internationalfootballcompetitions duringOlympic GamesandPan American Games.The selection is limited to players under the age of 23, except three overage players. The team is controlled by theArgentine Football Association(AFA).
The first participation of Argentina in Olympic tournaments was in1928,when the team was runner-up to championsUruguayat the Games held inAmsterdam.By those times, rules stated that only amateur squads could compete,[1][2]so Argentina (and also Uruguay) played with senior players so football was still not professional in those countries by then.[3]

After theIOCallowed professional players to participate (but with an age limit of 23 years old) Argentina returned in1996when the squad won their second silver medal after losing toNigeriain the final. In2004and coached byMarcelo Bielsa,Argentina won their first gold medal withCarlos Tevezfinishing as top scorer with eight goals.Four years later,Argentina won their second gold medal inBeijing,taking revenge against Nigeria with a 1–0 win in thefinal.
History

Argentina took part for the first time in the1928 Olympic Gamesheld in the Netherlands. Although the Olympics were restricted to amateur teams only, Argentina competed with its senior squad so football was not professional in the country until1931.[1]The team advanced to the final after defeatingUnited Stateswith a thrashing 11–2 in the first round, andBelgium(6–3) in the second. In the semi-finals, the national team smashedEgyptby 6–0 to qualify for the final againstUruguay.
