TheCzechoslovakia Olympic football team was a nationalfootball team ofCzechoslovakia, before the country split into theCzech Republic andSlovakia around the turn of the year 1992/93. Varying changes regarding the conditions of participation forOlympic Games over the years resulted in different eligible players for this team. For a long time it was almost identical with theCzechoslovakia national team and a lot of games were counted as full internationals. Since the late 1970s the squad of the two teams diverged from each other because players who had participated at FIFA World Cup matches were ruled out for the Olympic team. Because of age restrictions already in the qualifying stage for the1992 Summer Games in Barcelona theCzechoslovakia under-21 selection replaced the team. As in Europe theUEFA Under-21 Championship became the qualifying format for theOlympic Football tournaments the national under-21 teams of the two independent countries,Czech Republic under-21 team andSlovakia under-21 team, became the virtually successor sides of the Czechoslovakia Olympic selection and the Czechoslovakia under-21 team respectively.
