A suggestion put forward by the English FA is for the four constituent parts of the UK to play a tournament with the winning team going on to represent the UK in the Olympics.
On Thursday, 24 July 2008, speaking about the proposal for a United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland football team at the 2012 London Olympics, the Scottish Football Association's Chief Executive, Gordon Smith said:
"The Scottish FA's position on this issue remains the same - we are opposed to the concept of a British football team. As we have said many times before, we feel that such a move would threaten the independent status of the Home Nations.
"Also, when we speak to our fan groups about this issue, they tell us that they are strongly opposed to the idea. As the governing body of football in this country, we will always do what is best for the sport here in Scotland.
"On a personal note, I feel that the Olympics should be the pinnacle of any sport and it is doubtful as to whether an age restricted football competition in the Olympics would ever be able to rival the World Cup."
The row amongst the four UK associations ended when they agreed on a compromise by which England would exclusively organise men's and women's teams, made up entirely of English players, to play as Great Britain teams. On 29 May 2009, the four associations sent a joint letter to FIFA stating that while the Scottish, Welsh, and Northern Ireland associations would not participate in any joint UK team, they would not prevent England from using its own players to organise Great Britain teams for the 2012 Games.
Due to the great number of large stadia required for the Olympic tournament, venues in distant cities - often more than 200 km (120 miles) away from the main host city - are typically used for the football tournament, especially in the early rounds.
