Football at the 1912 Summer Olympics was the association football tournament that featured eleven teams, all from Europe. Four teams were drawn into eight groups of two where they each played once in a single-elimination format: the rest of the teams directly passed to the quarter-finals. Belgium withdrew shortly before the draw, while France withdrew after the draw.[1]

Great Britain won the competition. Denmark won silver and the Netherlands won bronze.[2]
