The men's football tournament at the 2016 Summer Olympics was held in Rio de Janeiro and five other cities in Brazil from 4 to 20 August.[1] It was the 26th edition of the men's Olympic football tournament. Together with the women's competition, the 2016 Summer Olympics football tournament was held in six cities in Brazil, including Olympic host city Rio de Janeiro, which hosted the final at the Maracanã Stadium.[2] Teams participating in the men's competition were restricted to under-23 players (born on or after 1 January 1993) with a maximum of three overage players allowed.
In March 2016, it was agreed that the competition would be part of IFAB's trial to allow a fourth substitute to be made during extra time.[3]
Brazil captured their first gold medal after defeating Germany on penalties.[4] Nigeria won the bronze medal by beating Honduras 3–2.[5]

Squads
The men's tournament was an under-23 international tournament (born on or after 1 January 1993), with a maximum of three overage players allowed. Each team had to submit a squad of 18 players, two of whom had to be goalkeepers. Each team might also have a list of four alternate players, who might replace any player in the squad in case of injury during the tournament.[16]
Draw
The draw for the tournament was held on 14 April 2016, 10:30 BRT (UTC−3), at the Maracanã Stadium, Rio de Janeiro.[17] The 16 teams in the men's tournament were drawn into four groups of four teams.[18] The teams were seeded into four pots based on their performances in the five previous Olympics (with more recent tournaments weighted higher), plus bonus points awarded to the six confederation qualifying champions (Japan, Nigeria, Mexico, Argentina, Fiji, Sweden).[19] The hosts Brazil were automatically assigned into position A1. No groups could contain more than one team from the same confederation.[20]
| Pot 1 | Pot 2 | Pot 3 | Pot 4 |
|---|---|---|---|
Group stage
The top two teams of each group advanced to the quarter-finals. The rankings of teams in each group were determined as follows:[16]
- Points obtained in all group matches;
- Goal difference in all group matches;
- Number of goals scored in all group matches;
If two or more teams were equal on the basis of the above three criteria, their rankings were determined as follows:
- Points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;
- Goal difference in the group matches between the teams concerned;
- Number of goals scored in the group matches between the teams concerned;
- Drawing of lots by the FIFA Organising Committee.

Knockout stage
In the knockout stage, if a match was level at the end of normal playing time, extra time was played (two periods of fifteen minutes each) and followed, if necessary, by a penalty shoot-out to determine the winner.[1]
On 18 March 2016, the FIFA Executive Committee agreed that the competition would be part of the International Football Association Board's trial to allow a fourth substitute to be made during extra time.[2]
The knockout stage of the men's football tournament at the 2016 Summer Olympics was played from 13 to 20 August 2016. The top two teams from each group in the group stage qualified for the knockout stage.[1]
All times are local, BRT (UTC−3).[3]

Gold medal match
The final pitted host Brazil against defending world champions Germany, with both teams seeking their first Olympic title despite having won a combined nine World Cups. Both opposing coaches — Rogerio Micale for Brazil and Horst Hrubesch for Germany — downplayed the fact that the gold medal match was a rematch of the 2014 World Cup semi-final in Belo Horizonte, known in Brazil as the Mineirazo after Germany had won 7–1.[12]
Brazil took the lead through a first-half free kick from Neymar, the senior team captain and one of the Brazilian players who had lost the gold medal match in the London 2012 Olympic tournament against Mexico at Wembley. Opposing German captain Max Meyer then equalised in the second half for Germany with a half-volley off a cross. Neither team was able to score again after 120 minutes, meaning the final went to penalties for the first time since 2000 when Cameroon had beaten Spain in a shootout in Sydney. Both teams scored on their first four penalties, with the breakthrough coming when Weverton saved the German fifth penalty from substitute Nils Petersen.[13] Neymar then converted Brazil's fifth penalty to seal Olympic gold for Brazil in football for the first time. Brazil's victory also meant that the team had won every major global tournament at least once (World Cup, Confederations Cup and Olympics) and was also the first host nation victory in an Olympic tournament since Spain won the Barcelona 1992 tournament.[14] Lua error: too many expensive function calls.
