History

1924–1988

Uruguay's first participation in the Olympics was in Paris, France, in 1924. In that year, Uruguay won its first gold medal, beating Yugoslavia 7–0, United States 3–0, France 5–1, Netherlands 2–1, and in the Final defeating Switzerland 3–0.

Uruguay's second participation in the Olympics was in Amsterdam, Netherlands, in 1928. In that year, Uruguay won its second gold medal, beating Netherlands 2–0, Germany 4–1, Italy 3–2, and in the first Final tying Argentina 1–1, and defeating Argentina 2–1 in the second final.

During this time, the Uruguay Olympic football team was technically the Uruguay national football team.

1992–present

Since the 1992 Olympics, the football event was changed into a tournament for under 23 teams, with a maximum of three overaged players. The era of the Uruguay national under-23 football team began in earnest.
