At the XVI. Olympic Games 1956 in Melbourne was a competition in football played.
Due to numerous reports, a qualifying round was held for the first time in the history of the Olympic football tournament. Yugoslavia reached the final for the third time in a row, which no team had previously managed, but could only win the silver medal again. The German amateur national team lost in qualifying against the eventual Olympic champion, the Soviet Union. With India, an Asian team reached the semifinals of an Olympic football tournament for the first time. The tournament was affected by cancellations, so that the round of 16 took place with only three games.
The venues were the Olympia Park Stadium and the Melbourne Cricket Ground , where the final took place in front of 102,000 spectators, which until then was the record setting for Olympic football tournaments and was only surpassed in 1968 in Mexico City with 105,000 spectators in the bronze medal between Japan and Mexico. While FIFA no longer counts these matches as A internationals, B. the USSF these games in the statistics of their senior national team.
