How old do you have to be to play football in the Olympics?

Answer 1

There is no minimum in soccer. The maximum age is 23.

A minimum age does not apply to all sports.

For the 2016 Olympics, a Nepalese female swimmer was only 13. For the 2008 Olympics, a female swimmer from Cameroon was only 12.

However, Olympics gymnasts must be at least 16, i.e. for the Rio games of 2016, gymnasts must have been born no earlier than January 1, 2001. Similar minimums are age 14 in bobsledding, and age 17 in boxing.
