France's representatives were determined by the USFSA, which elected the Parisian champion Club Français. [1] For Belgium, after Racing Club de Bruxelles declined to participate, a student selection with players from the Université libre de Bruxelles was sent by the Federation. [2] [3] The team was reinforced with a few non-students. On the other hand, English club Upton Park F.C. represented Great Britain. [1] [3]
The International Olympic Committee credits Great Britain, France and a "Mixed Team" with gold, silver and bronze medals, respectively, as part of its attempt to reconcile early Olympic Games with the modern award scheme. [4] The Belgian team included one British and one Dutch player.
The football matches were held at the Vélodrome de Vincennes in Paris. [1]
