Why do Team GB not have a men's football team at Paris 2024?
England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own Football Associations and compete individually in FIFA and UEFA competitions.
However, with the Olympics overseen by the the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the home nations are one entity as Great Britain.
At London 2012, an agreement was reach for Team GB to compete with 13 Englishman and five Welsh players reaching the squad. There were no players from Scotland or Northern Ireland in the squad.
However, no such agreement was reached in 2016, 2020 or 2024, meaning England's win in last summer's U21 Euros – which was the qualification event - didn't see them book a plane to Paris.
