They dont have a team. They decided a long time ago not to bother
sending a "British" team in case FIFA got any bright ideas about
unifying the 4 home nations on a permanent basis.

You don't really think that the English, Scottish and Welsh F.A.'s could co-
operate to that extent do you?

The Brits won't be sending a football team to the Olympics - we never do.

Cheery-bye,

I doubt it very much. Because each of the countries has its own
federation, with a place in the major tournaments, they are not about to
risk losing that by combining into an Olympic side. I don't think they've
every participated in Olympic football this way.

In case no-one's posted a response to this yet:
Fyi, Great Britain never sends a combined British side to the
Olympics because if they did, there would be pressure from FIFA
to just send 1 team (iso separate Eng, Scot, Wales, N.Ire teams)
to all other interntional competitions.
If there was a GB side however, rest assured that it would be
predominatly English...
