After 1974, when the Football Association of England abolished the
distinction between "amateur" and "professional" football, Great
Britain no longer entered a team into the qualifying competitions of
the Olympics.
The four parts of the United Kingdom , known as the ' Home Nations ' –
England , Northern Ireland , Scotland and Wales – have separate
international teams within FIFA , which includes a guaranteed position
as Vice-President on on the FIFA Executive Committee and have a 50%
presence on the International Football Association Board , which sits
annually to debate changes within the Laws of the Game .
With London selected as the host for the 2012 Games there was
considerable pressure within the English FA, British Olympic Committee
and the British Government for the UK to field men's and women's
teams. The Football Association of Wales have strongly objected to
this out of fear it may lead to their separate status in FIFA
competitions being called into question. The Irish Football
Association, which covers Northern Ireland, is less strong in its
view. have strongly objected to this out of fear it may lead to their
separate status in FIFA competitions being called into question. The
Irish Football Association, which covers Northern Ireland, is less
strong in its view. On 24 July 2008, speaking about the proposal for a
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland team at the 2012
London Olympics, the Scottish Football Association's Chief Executive,
Gordon Smith said:
"The Scottish FA's position on this issue remains the same – we are
opposed to the concept of a British football team. As we have said
many times before, we feel that such a move would threaten the
independent status of the Home Nations.
"Also, when we speak to our fan groups about this issue, they tell us
that they are strongly opposed to the idea. As the governing body of
football in this country, we will always do what is best for the
sporthere in Scotland.
"On a personal note, I feel that the Olympics should be the pinnacle
of any sport and it is doubtful as to whether an age restricted
football competition in the Olympics would ever be able to rival the
World Cup." The row amongst the four UK associations ended when they
agreed on a compromise by which England would exclusively organize
men's and women's teams, made up entirely of English players, to play
as Great Britain. On 29 May 2009, the four associations sent a joint
letter to FIFA stating that "the Scottish, Northern Irish and Welsh
Associations recognize that England want to do this and there'll be no
further opposition from them to England taking part as Team UK
providing they do not attempt to include any Scottish, Welsh or
Northern Irish players". The full squad for the Olympic Games was
announced on 2 July 2012, and contained 13 English and 5 Welsh
players, but no Scottish or Northern Irish players were selected. Is
cause of The Boycott of The United States Comminucation Pin for World
