The '''Argentina Olympic football team''' ('''Argentina U-23''' since 1992) represents [[Argentina]] in international [[Association football|football]] competitions during [[Olympic Games]] and [[Pan American Games]]. The selection is limited to players under the age of 23, except three overage players. The team is controlled by the [[Argentine Football Association]] (AFA).

The first participation of Argentina in Olympic tournaments was in [[Football at the 1928 Summer Olympics|1928]], when the team was runner-up to champions [[Uruguay national under-23 football team|Uruguay]] at the Games held in [[Amsterdam]]. By those times, rules stated that only amateur squads could compete,<ref name="afa">{{Cite web |title=El Fútbol Masculino en los Juegos Olímpicos |url=https://www.afa.com.ar/es/posts/el-futbol-masculino-en-los-juegos-olimpicos |access-date=2023-11-08 |website=Sitio Oficial de la Asociación del Fútbol Argentino |language=es-AR}}</ref><ref name="as">{{Cite web |date=20 July 2021 |title=Historia del fútbol en los Juegos Olímpicos: medallero, palmarés y ganadores |url=https://as.com/juegos_olimpicos/2021/07/20/noticias/1626796241_067088.html |access-date=8 November 2023 |website=AS |language=es}}</ref> so Argentina (and also Uruguay) played with senior players so football was still not professional in those countries by then.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Máximo |first=Negro |date=30 May 2020 |title=A 89 años de la profesionalización del fútbol argentino |url=https://elequipo-deportea.com/2020/05/30/a-89-anos-de-la-profesionalizacion-del-futbol-argentino/ |access-date=8 November 2023 |website=El Equipo Deportea |language=es}}</ref>

Argentina would not participate in Olympic Games until [[Football at the 1960 Summer Olympics|1960]] when the squad did a discrete performance finishing 7th. The team contested the competition with youth amateur players. After the [[International Olympic Committee|IOC]] allowed professional players to participate (but with an age limit of 23 years old) Argentina returned in [[Football at the 1996 Summer Olympics – Men's tournament|1996]] when the squad won their second silver medal after losing to [[Nigeria national under-23 football team|Nigeria]] in the final. In [[Football at the 2004 Summer Olympics – Men's tournament|2004]] and coached by [[Marcelo Bielsa]], Argentina won their first gold medal with [[Carlos Tevez]] finishing as top scorer with eight goals. [[Football at the 2008 Summer Olympics – Men's tournament|Four years later]], Argentina won their second gold medal in [[Beijing]],  taking revenge against Nigeria with a 1–0 win in the [[Football at the 2008 Summer Olympics – Men's tournament final|final]].

==History==
=== First participation ===
[[File:Argentina football team Olympics 1928.jpg|thumb|left|The team that won the Silver Medal at the [[Football at the 1928 Summer Olympics|1928 Olympics]]]]
Argentina took part for the first time in the [[Football at the 1928 Summer Olympics|1928 Olympic Games]] held in the Netherlands. Although the Olympics were restricted to amateur teams only, Argentina competed with its senior squad so football was not professional in the country until [[1931 Argentine Primera División|1931]].<ref name=afa/> The team advanced to the final after defeating [[United States men's national soccer team|United States]] with a thrashing 11–2 in the first round, and [[Belgium national football team|Belgium]] (6–3) in the second. In the semi-finals, the national team smashed [[Egypt national football team|Egypt]] by 6–0 to qualify for the final against [[Uruguay national football team|Uruguay]].

The first match ended in a 1–1 tie so a second game had to be played three days later. In the decisive match, Uruguay won the tournament after defeating Argentina 2–1, winning the Gold Medal. The Argentine line-up was [[Angel Bossio|Bossio]], [[Ludovico Bidoglio|Bidoglio]], Paternóster, Médice, [[Luis Monti|Monti]], [[Juan Evaristo|Evaristo]], Carricaberri, [[Domingo Tarasconi|Tarasconi]], [[Manuel Ferreira (footballer)|Ferreira]], Perduca, [[Raimundo Orsi|Orsi]]. Tarasconi was also the topscorer of the competition with 11 goals.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Games of the IX. Olympiad - Football Tournament |url=https://www.rsssf.org/tableso/ol1928f.html |access-date=2023-11-08 |website=www.rsssf.org}}</ref>

=== 1932–84: few participations ===
In [[1932 Summer Olympics|1932]] no football tournament was held, restarting the activities in [[football at the 1936 Summer Olympics|1936]] (where Argentina did not take part), being interrupted due to [[World War II]] until [[football at the 1948 Summer Olympics|1948]]. Because of an agreement between [[FIFA]] and the [[International Olympic Committee|IOC]], only amateur players were allowed to play in the football tournaments from then on.

Argentina returned to football competition in the [[football at the 1960 Summer Olympics|1960]] games held in [[Rome]]. The squad was eliminated in the first round after a 3–2 loss to [[Denmark national football team|Denmark]], although the team won its successive games against [[Tunisia national football team|Tunisia]] (2–1) and [[Poland national football team|Poland]] (2–0). Argentina placed second to Denmark.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Games of the XVII. Olympiad - Football Tournament |url=https://www.rsssf.org/tableso/ol1960f.html |access-date=2023-11-09 |website=www.rsssf.org}}</ref>

Argentina's next participation was at the [[football at the 1964 Summer Olympics|1964 Summer Olympics]] organized by [[Tokyo]], where the team finished in the last position of the group after a 1–1 draw with [[Ghana national football team|Ghana]] and a 2–3 loss to [[Japan national football team|Japan]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Games of the XVIII. Olympiad - Football Tournament |url=https://www.rsssf.org/tableso/ol1964f.html |access-date=2023-11-09 |website=www.rsssf.org}}</ref> Since then, Argentina had a long absence from the games, not having taken part in the [[Football at the 1968 Summer Olympics|1968]], [[Football at the 1972 Summer Olympics|1972]], [[Football at the 1976 Summer Olympics|1976]], [[Football at the 1980 Summer Olympics|1980]] and [[Football at the 1984 Summer Olympics|1984]] Olympics.

=== 1988–92 ===
The national team returned for the [[Football at the 1988 Summer Olympics|1988 Summer Olympics]] held in [[Seoul]]. The changes made by the IOC since [[football at the 1984 Summer Olympics|1984]] (where Argentina did not participate) allowed the squad to include professional players in their lists,<ref name=as/> some of them with several years playing in [[Argentine Primera División|Primera División]], such as [[Luis Islas]], [[Pedro Monzón]], [[Néstor Fabbri]], [[Darío Siviski]] and [[Jorge Comas (footballer)|Jorge Comas]], among others. In the group stage, Argentina tied 1–1 to the United States, then beat [[South Korea national football team|South Korea]] by 2–1, finishing second to the [[Soviet Union national football team|Soviet Union]] and qualifying to the next stage. In the quarter-finals, Argentina lost to Brazil 2–1, being eliminated from the competition.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Games of the XXIV. Olympiad - Football Tournament |url=https://www.rsssf.org/tableso/ol1988f.html |access-date=2023-11-08 |website=www.rsssf.org}}</ref>

Since the [[1992 Summer Olympics|1992 edition]], the IOC stated that all football players should be under 23 years old, beyond they were professional or not. Coached by [[Alfio Basile]], Argentina went to play the qualification tournament with experienced players such as [[Diego Simeone]], [[Diego Latorre]], [[Antonio Mohamed]], [[Fernando Gamboa]] and [[Leonardo Astrada]], who had also won the [[Copa América]] [[1991 Copa América|one year before]].<ref name=desilusiones>[http://www.goal.com/es-ar/news/4452/selecci%C3%B3n-argentina/2016/08/03/25909512/1992-y-2000-las-dos-grandes-desilusiones-preol%C3%ADmpicas 1992 Y 2000, LAS DOS GRANDES DESILUSIONES PREOLÍMPICAS] on Goal.com</ref> Nevertheless, Argentina failed to [[1992 CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament|qualify]] for the games, finishing 3rd. in group B after [[Paraguay national under-23 football team|Paraguay]] and [[Colombia national under-23 football team|Colombia]] therefore being eliminated in first round.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Games of the XXV. Olympiad - Football Qualifying Tournament |url=https://www.rsssf.org/tableso/ol1992q.html |access-date=2023-11-08 |website=www.rsssf.org}}</ref>

Since the [[1996 Summer Olympics|1996 Games]], the IOC allowed squads to include a maximum of three over-23 players in their rosters.<ref name=as/><ref name="mem">{{Cite web |date=2021-08-08 |title=Fútbol en los JUEGOS OLÍMPCIOS - Historia y Palmarés |url=https://memoriasdelfutbol.com/futbol-juegos-olimpicos-historia/ |access-date=2023-11-08 |website=Memorias del Fútbol |language=es}}</ref>

=== Return to podium ===
Argentina came back to the competition in the [[Football at the 1996 Summer Olympics|1996]] edition held in [[Atlanta]], United States. For the first time in the history of the Olympics, the IOC allowed football representatives to register a maximum of three above-23 players. The Argentine players registered under that condition were [[Diego Simeone]], [[José Chamot]] and [[Roberto Sensini]]. Former [[Argentina national football team|senior team]] captain [[Daniel Passarella]] was the manager.

The national team debuted with a 3–1 victory over the United States, then tied to [[Portugal national football team|Portugal]] and Tunisia, both 1–1, to finish first the group and qualify for the second round. In the quarter-finals, Argentina trashed [[Spain national football team|Spain]] 4–0 which allowed the team to pass to the semi-finals, where it defeated Portugal 2–0. After 66 years since the first final played in [[Amsterdam]], Argentina reached its second Olympic final. The match was played on 3 August 1996 and Argentina lost to [[Nigeria national football team|Nigeria]] 2–3.<ref>[https://archive.today/20130616034217/http://archivo.univision.com/content/content.jhtml?cid=424380 "1996: Nigeria tocó el cielo olímpico" at Univisión]</ref> The line-up for the final was: [[Pablo Cavallero|Cavallero]]; [[Javier Zanetti]], [[Roberto Ayala]], [[Roberto Sensini]], [[José Chamot]]; [[Christian Bassedas]], [[Matías Almeyda]], [[Ariel Ortega]], [[Hugo Morales (footballer)|Hugo Morales]]; [[Claudio López (footballer)|Claudio López]] and [[Hernán Crespo]]. Other players squad players included [[Carlos Bossio]], [[Marcelo Gallardo]] and [[Marcelo Delgado]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Games of the XXVI. Olympiad - Football Tournament |url=https://www.rsssf.org/tableso/ol1996f.html |access-date=2023-11-09 |website=www.rsssf.org}}</ref> In the next edition of the Games, [[2000 Summer Olympics|2000]], Argentina did not participate.

=== First gold ===
[[File:Carlos Tevez with Argentina at the Boleyn Ground in November 2014.jpg|thumb|100px|[[Carlos Tevez]], key player and top scorer (8 goals) in 2004, when Argentina won its first gold medal]]
The [[Football at the 2004 Summer Olympics|2004 Summer Olympics]] were held in [[Athens]] and Argentina returned to the competition after the absence in [[Sydney]]. The squad, managed by [[Marcelo Bielsa]], won the gold medal for the first time in its history. Before playing the final, Argentina won all the games in the first round, thrashing [[Serbia national football team|Serbia and Montenegro]] 6–0 then defeating Tunisia and [[Australia men's national soccer team|Australia]]. Argentina finished first in the group with no goals conceded. In the quarter-finals, Argentina smashed [[Costa Rica national football team|Costa Rica]] 4–0, reaching the semi-finals against [[Italy national football team|Italy]] which it beat 3–0. Argentina played the final against [[Paraguay national football team|Paraguay]] on 28 August 2004, winning not only the game (1–0) but the gold medal as well.
