Football at the 1924 Summer Olympics was the sixth edition of the football tournament at the Summer Olympic Games held in Paris.
The tournament expanded to 22 countries from four confederations for the first time, with African side Egypt (as was the case in the previous edition), Turkey which is partly in Asia, Uruguay representing South America and the United States representing North America.
Uruguay made a memorable debut, going undefeated and winning the gold medal. This earned them the first of the four stars above their crest.[1][2][3]
