They have qualified for the Olympics games 14 times. Although they withdrew from the 1956 and the 1980 tournaments after qualifying.

History

Egypt's first appearance was in Antwerp where they played one match against Italy. This was the first official international match for the Pharaohs as they lost 2-1 on August 20, 1920. Egypt would later qualify for 9 straight tournaments from 1920 to 1964. The Pharaohs achieved Fourth Place in Amsterdam 1928 and Tokyo 1964. This means that Egypt is the best team that never won a medal at the Olympics (most 4th place finishes without a higher finish).

However, since FIFA decided to make the Olympic football an under 23-year tournament, Egypt has only qualified three times (Barcelona 1992, London 2012 and Tokyo 2020), reaching the quarterfinals in 2012.

Egypt qualified to the 2012 Olympics after beating Senegal in the Bronze Metal Match. They missed out on the 2016 Olympics but reached the 2020 Olympics.
