Sweden Olympic football team
The Sweden Olympic football team (also known as Sweden national under-23 football team from 1992) is the football team representing Sweden in Olympics and is controlled by the Swedish Football Association. The team qualified for the 1988 and 1992 Olympics and reached the quarter-finals. The qualification to the Olympics for the European teams is the European Under-21 Championship, therefore the Swedish U23 team doesn't play any qualification matches. In 1992 the team was managed by Nisse Andersson and in 2016 the team was managed by Håkan Ericson.

Olympic record
Football at the Summer Olympics was first played officially in 1908. The Olympiads between 1896 and 1980 was only open for amateur players. The 1984 and 1988 tournaments were open to players with no appearances in the FIFA World Cup. After the 1988 Olympics, the football event was changed into a tournament for U23 teams with a maximum of three older players.
