The Football competition kicks off the London 2012 Olympic Games. Spread across six major grounds around the UK, it offers all the drama that fans of the game have come to expect from major international tournaments.

Football at the 2012 Summer Olympics is scheduled to be held in London and several other cities in the United Kingdom, from 25 July to 11 August. The finals will be played at Wembley Stadium. Associations affiliated with FIFA are invited to send their full women’s national teams and men’s U-23 teams to participate. Men’s teams are allowed to augment their squad with three players over the age of 23. 504 football players are expected to compete for two sets of gold medals

The football pitches are not exactly the same size in all the venues, but vary between 100m–110m long and 64m–75m wide. The penalty spot at either end is 11m from the goal.

Football was introduced as a medal sport at the Paris 1900 Olympic Games. Great Britain won the men’s gold medal, then successfully defended their title four years later in Stockholm. The sport has featured at every Olympic Games since, except for Los Angeles 1932. The first women’s competition was at Atlanta 1996.

The aim of football, to score more goals than the opposition, is simple and widely known. Teams of 11 players compete across two 45-minute halves, with extra time and penalty shootouts used to decide drawn matches during the knockout stages of the competition.

At London 2012 the men’s Football is an under-23s competition, although each team is allowed to include three older players. There is no age restriction in the women’s competition.

At London 2012, both the men’s and women’s Football competitions begin with a preliminary stage: the 16 men’s and 12 women’s teams are divided into groups of four teams (four groups in the men’s and three groups in the women’s competition), and each team plays every other in their group. Teams receive three points for a win, one point for a draw and nothing for a loss.
