In Olympic soccer, national teams are generally composed of under-23 players, with each team allowed to include a limited number of over-age players. This format encourages youth participation while still allowing experienced players to contribute. The men's tournament typically features teams made up of players aged 23 and under, while the women's tournament does not have an age limit, allowing any eligible female player to represent her country. Each country must select its players based on their eligibility and the regulations set by FIFA and the International Olympic Committee.
