Biography
History
The Spain national under-23 football team, often referred to as the Spain Olympic football team, represents Spain in international football competitions at the Olympic Games. This team is primarily composed of players under the age of 23, with the unique allowance of including up to three overage players during the Olympics. The team is governed by the Royal Spanish Football Federation and has a rich history in Olympic football, having qualified for six competitions since 1992.
Spain made its Olympic debut in 1920 at the Antwerp Games, where the tournament format was a knockout style. In a remarkable journey, Spain reached the silver medal match after defeating Sweden and Italy, ultimately securing a silver medal by overcoming the Netherlands 3-1. However, the subsequent Olympics in 1924 and 1928 were less successful, with Spain exiting in the first round both times.
The team saw a resurgence in the 1992 Olympics held in Barcelona, where they clinched their first gold medal, marking a significant achievement in their history. This success was followed by another gold medal in 2024, solidifying Spain's status as a formidable force in Olympic football. Additionally, the team has earned silver medals in 1920, 2000, and 2020, showcasing their consistent performance on the international stage.

Czechoslovakia, participating in their first international tournament, cruised to the final, inflicting heavy defeats on Yugoslavia (who played their first ever international match in the competition), Norway, and France. Belgium beat a talented Spain and then the Netherlands on their way to the final. Belgium won the gold medal by default after Czechoslovakia walked off in protest during the final, unhappy with the performance of the English referee, John Lewis. The Bergvall System was used to determine second and third places. The beaten quarter-finalists played-off, Spain emerged triumphant overcoming Sweden 2–1 and Italy 2–0. Ordinarily, Spain would then have played the beaten finalists, but Czechoslovakia had been disqualified from the tournament. Spain thus advanced straight to the silver medal match against Holland, beaten in the semi-finals by gold medallists Belgium. Spain won 3–1. 1924 was not as successful, Spain bowed out of competition in the first round after losing to Italy 1–0. At the 1928 Summer Olympics things would go from good to worse. Spain…
