The Mexican national soccer team first took part in the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam , but failed in the first round. After not taking part in 1936, the end of the round of 16 against South Korea came in 1948 , for which this was the first international match. After that, the senior national team no longer took part. The Olympic team was able to qualify regularly from 1964 - but it was never enough to win a medal until 2012. In 1968 Mexico reached fourth place as the host, with 105,000 in the game for third place, the highest number of spectators at an Olympic football game. In 2012 the gold medal was won for the first time in the final against Brazil .
