Football Venues

Spread across six major grounds around the UK, the London 2012 Olympic Games Football competition promises plenty of excitement.

During the London 2012 Football competition, approximately 2,400 footballs will be used.
Hungary has won three Football gold medals – more than any other country. The only time a gold-medal match has been decided on penalties was in Sydney 2000, when Cameroon beat Spain in a shootout. The Olympic football tournament has been decided by a replay just once, in 1928: Uruguay beat Argentina 2-1 after the first match between the teams ended 1-1.
