The men's football tournament at the 2012 Summer Olympics is to be held in London and five other cities in Great Britain from 26 July to 11 August. Associations affiliated with FIFA were invited to enter their men's U-23 teams in regional qualifying competitions, from which 15 teams, plus the hosts Great Britain reached the final tournament. Men's teams are allowed to augment their squads with three players over the age of 23. It is the first major FIFA affiliated men's tournament to be held within the United Kingdom since the 1966 FIFA World Cup and will be the first men's Olympic football tournament to feature a team representing Great Britain since the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome.[1]
