Why did the olympic committee change the age requirements for soccer?

The age requirements currently used by the olympic committee limit the number of highly experienced professional players a team can have. That limitation creates more parity between more teams. Without that increased chance for smaller countries to win a medal, many smaller countries would not even submit a soccer team to play in the Olympics.
