The Uruguay national under-23 football team (also known as Uruguay Olympic football team) represents Uruguay in under-23 international football competitions such as the Olympic Games, CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament and Pan American Games. The selection is limited to players under the age of 23, except three overage players. The team is controlled by the Uruguayan Football Association (AUF).
Uruguay's first participation in the Olympics was in Paris, France, in 1924. In that year, Uruguay won its first gold medal, beating Yugoslavia 7–0, United States 3–0, France 5–1, Netherlands 2–1, and in the Final defeating Switzerland 3–0.
Uruguay's second participation in the Olympics was in Amsterdam, Netherlands, in 1928. In that year, Uruguay won its second gold medal, beating Netherlands 2–0, Germany 4–1, Italy 3–2, and in the first Final tying Argentina 1–1, and defeating Argentina 2–1 in the second final.
During this time, the Uruguay Olympic football team was the Senior Uruguay national football team. The 1924 and 1928 Olympics were special tournaments that were the status equivalent of the FIFA World Cup. After the World Cup was established, in order not to compete with it, the Olympics became amateur players only (like prior to 1924) and then in 1992 became Under-23.
Since the 1992 Olympics, the football event was changed into a tournament for under 23 teams, with a maximum of three overaged players. The era of the Uruguay national under-23 football team began in earnest.
