The following is a list of squads for each nation that competed in men's football at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Each nation had to submit a squad of eighteen players, at least fifteen of whom had to be born on or after 1 January 1989, and three of whom could be older dispensation players.[1] A minimum of two goalkeepers (plus one optional dispensation goalkeeper) had to be included in the squad.

Group A[]

Great Britain[]

The following is the Great Britain squad in the men's football tournament of the 2012 Summer Olympics.[2]

As part of an agreement with the FA, no players from England's Euro 2012 squad were selected. However, an agreement was made to allow Jack Butland to play on both squads. Butland, a late injury replacement for the Euro 2012 team, did not play in the tournament as England's third goalkeeper, and was allowed to keep his Olympic roster spot.
