Football was one of the tournaments at the 1928 Summer Olympics. It was won by Uruguay against Argentina, and was the last Olympic football tournament before the inception of the FIFA World Cup, which was held for the first time in 1930. This edition and the 1924 Olympics are the only 2 tournaments before the World Cup that count as senior world titles due to allowing professional players and featuring a country from every continent besides Australia for the first time.
