Despite its name, this team selection has little to do with the 1996 Summer Olympics, as only 16 countries qualified for the football event. Africa is not represented at all, which means it is impossible to play as men's winners Nigeria, nor qualifiers Ghana and Tunisia. England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales are represented, even though the United Kingdom competes as a whole as Great Britain (and also did not quailfy in 1996).
The women's event is not covered by Olympic Soccer, so all teams are male.
