At the 1896 Summer Olympics in Athens, an unofficial football event was held on 12 April between two representative teams of Greece and Denmark at the Podilatodromio. The International Olympic Committee does not recognize the existence of an official football tournament at the 1896 Olympics and the majority of works devoted to the 1896 Olympic Games do not actually mention a football competition; however, there is incontrovertible evidence that the aforementioned match was played as either a part of the (unofficial) programme, or as a "demonstration sport" during the Olympic Games.

  • At the 1896 Summer Olympics in Athens, an unofficial football event was held on 12 April between two representative teams of Greece and Denmark at the Podilatodromio. The International Olympic Committee does not recognize the existence of an official football tournament at the 1896 Olympics and the majority of works devoted to the 1896 Olympic Games do not actually mention a football competition; however, there is incontrovertible evidence that the aforementioned match was played as either a part of the (unofficial) programme, or as a "demonstration sport" during the Olympic Games. The reason why this match was more or less ignored was because of a recommendation from Crown Prince Constantine, the chairman of the 1896 Olympic Organizing Committee, who publicly said that the sports which were not part of the official Olympic programme should not be mentioned, and thus, the football match was not reported anywhere. As a result, the final score of the game remains uncertain with various sources agreeing it was either a 9-0 or a 15-0 victory for the Danish. Remarkably, it was Prince Constantine's younger brother, George, Prince of both Greece and Denmark, refereed the football match. (en)
  • Le Comité international olympique ne reconnaît pas l'existence d'un tournoi officiel de football aux Jeux olympiques de 1896. Cependant, la question de l'organisation du tournoi de football a été directement posée lors d'une réunion du CIO tenue en novembre 1894 pour fixer le programme des Jeux de 1896. Le tournoi de football (orthographié "foot-ball" sur le Bulletin officiel du Comité international des Jeux olympiques) était initialement prévu, mais, devant le manque probable d'équipes participantes, il a finalement été retiré du programme. Pourtant, diverses sources non officielles évoquent un tournoi de football[Lesquelles ?] qui aurait été disputé « officieusement » ou comme « sport de démonstration » pendant les Jeux olympiques. Ainsi, David Goldblatt, dans L'encyclopédie mondiale du football, affirme que le football est disputé comme un sport de démonstration en 1896, mais les archives ayant disparu au CIO, cela ne peut être confirmé. D'autres sources parlent d'un tournoi « officieux » sans toutefois en préciser la nature. Néanmoins, la majorité des ouvrages consacrés aux Jeux olympiques de 1896 n'évoquent effectivement pas de compétition de football. Le tournoi qui aurait été disputé à Athènes pendant les Jeux olympiques impliquait trois équipes : une danoise et deux grecques correspondant aux équipes locales d'Athènes et de Smyrne (aujourd'hui Izmir).
