The France Olympic football team represents France in international football competitions in Olympic Games. It has been active since 1900, and first competed in 1900. Olympic football was originally an amateur sport, and as the pre-World War II French national team was also amateur, it was able to send a team to the games. The rules on amateurism were relaxed in the 1980s, which allowed France some success, notably a gold medal finish in 1984. Since 1992 the tournament has been competed by under-23 teams, making France's Olympic qualification dependent on the results of the under-21 team. Only in 2020 the French returned to the Olympic stage.

Olympic Games record

Since the 1992 Summer Olympics, teams consist of under-23 players, with the possibility of 3 players over the age of 23 being selected. The 1960 Summer Olympics mark the moment FIFA no longer consider Olympic matches to be played by national A teams. Before the 1984 Summer Olympics, only amateur footballers could participate. In fact, some countries fielded teams that were very similar to their A teams since their players were considered amateur.

[ru] Олимпийская сборная Франции по футболу

Олимпийская сборная Франции по футболу — с 1992 года является отдельной командой, собираемой для участия в Олимпийских играх в дисциплине «Футбол». С 1992 года изменились правила участия в Олимпийских играх, вследствие чего участие сборной зависит от результатов игры молодежной сборной (до 1992 года в олимпийских играх принимала участие основная сборная). В заявку сборной на Олимпийские игры могут включаться игроки не старше 23 лет, за исключением трёх футболистов, которые могут быть старше этого возраста[2].
