The 1936 Olympic football tournament was held at the Olympics in Berlin . The tournament, like all the Olympic Games, took place against the backdrop of political and interstate tension, which took place at that time in Europe and the world.
The winner of the tournament was the Italian team . From the point of view of the history of football, representation at the tournament was also affected by the holding of the World Cup .
The holding of the first World Cup in 1930 , which was one of the reasons for the lack of a football tournament in the 1932 games program, led to a decrease in the prestige of the Olympic football tournament. Countries from that moment sent their best players to world championships, and understudies came to the Olympics.
The restoration of the Olympic football tournament in 1936 was ensured by the fact that the German organizers were confident that this would enhance the prestige of the games in Berlin. In addition, Germany was one of the favorites, and the first failures of the national team did not push the fans away from the tournament, a total of 195,000 people watched matches for the bronze and gold medals of the games.
