The football tournament at the 1980 Summer Olympics started on July 20 and ended on August 2.
Only one event, the men's tournament, was contested. Several qualified countries did not participate because of the American-led boycott.[1]
Sixteen teams were divided into four groups:
Group A (Cuba, USSR, Venezuela, Zambia)
Group B (Colombia, Kuwait, Nigeria, Czechoslovakia)
Group C (Algeria, Spain, GDR, Syria)
Group D (Costa Rica, Finland, Iraq, Yugoslavia)
In the technical report following the competition, FIFA reported that: "Compared with the 1979 World Youth Tournament in Japan and the 1978 World Cup finals in Argentina, the standard of football at the Olympic Football Tournament was generally of an inferior quality,".[2]
