The first modern Olympics were held in 1896. Fourteen countries sent representatives to compete in this male only Olympics in Athens.
For all of the countries to do all the sports in the Olympics there has to be a certain amount of them in the team. However it is possible for a country to participate in all of the sports. Some of the countries this year only have a couple of players so no. All of the countries in the Olympics do not do all sports.
Football is played in virtually every country and territory. For example, there are thousands of football teams in England, but only two in Tristan da Cunha, and also only one in Svalbard. If the question refers to national teams, then Nauru and the Marshall Islands do not have national teams. Palau and the Federated States of Micronesia are in the process of creating a proper football infrastructure (including a national football team), and the latter has apparently applied for FIFA membership. Apart from the aforementioned countries, even the smallest of the small, and Monaco, have national football teams and their own football leagues. Except the Vatican city which is a religious city
Football is only played at an elite level in the United States. There would be no point in bringing it to the Olympics because it would not be a first, second, or even third choice sport in most countries. The only team that would win would be America and it would not be much of a competition.
yes but they call soccer football so technically they are playing soccer
