Soccer was not on the original modern Olympic Games programme; perhaps unsurprisingly, as international soccer was still in its infancy in 1896. However an unofficial soccer tournament was organised during the first competition. Demonstration tournaments were also played at the 1900 and 1904 games, as well as at the "Intercalated Games" of 1906, but these were contested by various clubs and scratch teams, and are not considered to be official Olympic events. It was not until the London Games of 1908 that a proper international tournament was organised, featuring just six teams, rising to 11 in 1912.
