The Swedish national football team first took part in the Olympic Games in London in 1908 and finished fourth there. In 1948 Sweden became Olympic champion - the last team not belonging to the Eastern Bloc until 1984 . The senior national team took part for the last time in 1952. After that, the amateur team only took part in the qualification for the Olympic Games in 1964, but failed at the eventual Olympic champion Hungary . It was only when the amateur conditions were relaxed in 1988 that Sweden also took part in the qualification again and was then able to qualify again. From then on, Sweden took part in the qualifications running through the U-21 European Championships and has so far qualified three times, most recently as U-21 European champions for the 2016 games in Rio de Janeiro . There the players - with the exception of four older players - can be 23 years old.
