The 1972 Olympic football tournament, held in Munich, Augsburg, Ingolstadt, Nuremberg, Passau, and Regensburg, was played as part of the 1972 Summer Olympics. The tournament features 16 men's national teams from five continental confederations. The 16 teams are drawn into four groups of four and each group plays a round-robin tournament. At the end of the group stage, the top two teams advanced to the second group stage, where the second-placed teams in each group advanced to the bronze medal match while the first-placed teams advanced to the gold medal match held at Olympiastadion on 10 September 1972.{{cite web|url=https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/summer/1972/FTB/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200417055246/https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/summer/1972/FTB/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=17 April 2020 |title=Football at the 1972 Munich Summer Games |work=Sports Reference |access-date=22 October 2018}} The medalists were Poland (gold), Hungary (silver), and shared bronze medalists East Germany and the Soviet Union, the first of three consecutive Olympic football tournaments where all the medalists were communist countries and the first since 1956.
In 2017, the physician of the Soviet team revealed that the bronze medal match between the Soviet Union and East Germany was fixed at the request of Soviet coach Aleksandr Ponomarev.{{cite web|first=Denis|last=Romantsov|language=ru|website=sports.ru |title=«Высоцкий дал установку: «Макаронщиков надо обыграть».

Тренер Пономарев сказал: «Что-то не хочется с ними бодаться. Как бы нам вничью сыграть». Ничья означала бронзовые медали для обеих команд. Используя свой немецкий, выученный в институте, я подошел перед игрой к доктору сборной ГДР. «Как ты смотришь на то, чтобы медали получили и вы, и мы?» – «Положительно», – и пошел к тренеру. Тот повернулся ко мне и показал большой палец: вопрос решен. Мы забили друг другу по два мяча, но на второй тайм вышел динамовец Андрей Якубик, который, ни о чем не подозревая, ворвался в штрафную и чуть не сделал счет 3:2. Слава богу, не попал, а то немцы бы нас уничтожили.|trans-quote=We didn't make it to the finals, and the third-place game against East Germany was scheduled for ten in the morning. Coach Ponomarev said, "I don't feel like butting heads with them. How about we play to a draw." A draw would have meant bronze medals for both teams. Using my German, learned at the institute, I approached the East Germany team doctor before the game. "How do you feel about both of us getting medals?" "Yes," I said, and went to the coach. He turned to me and gave me a thumbs-up: the issue was decided. We scored twice each, but Dynamo's Andrei Yakubik came out for the second half, unsuspectingly burst into the penalty area and almost made the score 3:2. Thank God he missed, otherwise the Germans would have destroyed us.}}
