In 1960, teams from North and Central America also entered the tournament.[1] Before 1984, only junior or non-professional players were allowed to participate.[2][3] In 1987 the competition opened to any player who had not played in World Cup (whether a qualifying match or at the final tournament).[1] Due to an International Olympic Committee ruling, since 1992, male competitors have been required to be under 23 years old, and since 1996, a maximum of three over-23-year-old players have been allowed per squad.[3][1]

The tournament was not held between 2007 and 2015, as the South American Youth Championship was chosen as the qualifying tournament for the Olympic Games.[4] The competition was re-introduced for the 2020 games.[5]
