Olympics: British Olympic chiefs target men’s football side at LA 2028

British Olympic chiefs are hoping to enter a men’s football team into the 2028 Games in Los Angeles.

The British Olympic Association (BOA) is planning to unite the England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland Football Associations in fielding a first Team GB men’s side since London 2012.

The Team GB women’s squad are eligible for qualification, but did not qualify for Paris 2024.

Great Britain entered a men’s team from every Games between 1948 to 1972 but were then met with resistance by Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, who felt their independence in Fifa and Uefa competitions could be jeopardised if they competed as a single team at the Olympics.

BOA chief executive Andy Anson said a Team GB men’s side at the US-hosted Games in four years would be “brilliant for football”.
