Overview

The format was similar to 1960. There were 16 qualified teams but DPR Korea (North) withdrew because some of their players were ineligible after competing at the Games of the New Emerging Forces (GANEFO), and Italy was disqualified for having used professional players in qualifying, which left a field of 14 teams. They were separated into four groups, two with four teams, and two with three. The top two finishers in each group advanced to the knock-out phase, starting with the quarter-finals.

The original 16 teams qualified as follows – Japan as the host nation; Yugoslavia as the defending champion; five teams from a European Olympic Qualifying Tournament (Romania, Hungary, Germany [East], Italy, Czechoslovakia); two teams from a South American Olympic Qualifying Tournament (Argentina, Brazil); one team from a North and Central American Olympic Qualifying Tournament (Mexico); three teams from an African Olympic Qualifying Tournament (United Arab Republic [Egypt], Ghana, Morocco); and three teams from an Asian Olympic Qualifying Tournament (Korea [South], DPR Korea [North], Iran).

In the South American Qualifying Tournament, a riot broke out near the end of the Argentina-Peru match after Uruguayan referee Ángel Pazos disallowed a Peruvian goal that tied the match with only two minutes remaining. The police intervened but the fighting went on into the night, and before it had ended, 328 people were killed with 100s more injured.

The matches were played at five venues around Japan, as follows – Kokuritsu Kyogijo, Shinjuku, Tokyo; Chichibunomiya Ragubijo, Minato, Tokyo; Komazawa Stadium, Komazawa Olympic Park, Tokyo; Mitsuzawa Stadium, Yokohama; Saitamashi Omiya Koen Sakkajo, Saitama; Osakashi Nagai Rikujo Kyogijo, Osaka; and Nishikyogoku Sutajiamu, Kyoto.

Hungary won the tournament, as they had in 1952, defeating Czechoslovakia in the final, 2-1, with Germany winning the bronze medal, defeating Egypt, 3-1.

Summary

The 1964 Olympic football tournament was dominated by the five Eastern European teams. Only one team from Western Europe had qualified, but Italy withdrew when the IOC ordered an investigation into the amateur status of several of their players, who competed for Italy's major teams. North Korea also withdrew, following the GANEFO dispute with the IOC. This left 14 teams, and the five European teams were met by Japan, Ghana and the United Arab Republic (Egypt) in the quarter-finals. Germany ousted defending champion Yugoslavia, while the UAR reached the semi-finals for the second time, the first occasion being in 1928, as Egypt. Again, the Africans lost their semi-final 0-6, Hungary qualifying for the final against Czechoslovakia. The final was illustrative for the entire tournament, with unattractive play interrupted by numerous free kicks. The match was decided by a goal from [Ferenc Bene], the tournament's top scorer with 12 goals.

The football competition at the 1964 Summer Olympics started on October 11 and ended on October 23. Only one event, the men's tournament, was contested. The tournament features 14 men's national teams from six continental confederations. The 14 teams are drawn into two groups of four and two groups of three and each group plays a round-robin tournament. At the end of the group stage, the top two teams advanced to the knockout stage, beginning with the quarter-finals and culminating with the gold medal match at the Olympic Stadium on October 23, 1964. There was also three consolation matches played by losing quarter-finalists. The winner of these matches placed fifth in the
  

Qualification

Regional qualifying tournaments were held. A riot in Lima during the decisive Peru–Argentina match resulted in 328 deaths.

16 teams qualified and were divided into 4 groups:

  • Group A (Unified Team of Germany (which was de facto East Germany), Romania, Mexico, Iran)
  • Group B (Hungary, Yugoslavia, Morocco, Korea D.P.R.)
  • Group C (Czechoslovakia, United Arab Republic (Egypt), Brazil, Korea Rep.)
  • Group D (Japan, Ghana, Argentina, Italy)

Two best teams of each group competed in the quarter-finals.

Italy and Korea D.P.R. withdrew: Italy because their team was not amateur, and North Korea because some Koreans were prevented from playing.
