Football at the 1928 Summer Olympics

Common card · No. 390240

Football was one of the tournaments at the 1928 Summer Olympics. It was won by Uruguay against Argentina, and was the last Olympic football tournament before the inception of the FIFA World Cup, which was held for the first time in 1930. The status of the 1924 and 1928 Olympic football tournaments has generated controversy between those who argue that the gold medals in those two games have an equivalent status to the Football World Cup held since 1930, and those who maintain that the World Cup is a tournament that should not be equated with those Olympic tournament.
