Games of the IX. Olympiad

Football Tournament

(Amsterdam, Netherlands, May 27 - June 13, 1928)


additional details


NB: Apart from the 17 countries which eventually entered, also Bulgaria, Estonia and Greece
    registered ahead of the tournament.  Bulgaria (3 May) and Greece (14 May) withdrew before
    the draw of the preliminary and first round on 17 May; Estonia were drawn to play Spain
    in the preliminary round (as the second match on 27 May).  However, Estonia withdrew on
    22 May, so only one match was played ahead of the first round proper.
    Note that Yugoslavia was officially called the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes
    until 1929, but colloquially named Yugoslavia since its formation in 1918.
