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 (IOC) 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.
Early Olympic Games allowed for individuals in a team to be from different nations. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) groups their results together under the mixed team designation.

During the 1906 Intercalated Games two teams comprising international members won medals in different events.
