The association football (soccer) tournament at the 1984 Summer Olympics started on July 29 and ended on August 11, taking place throughout the United States.{{cite web|url=https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/summer/1984/FTB/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200417043057/https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/summer/1984/FTB/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=April 17, 2020 |title=Football at the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Games |work=Sports Reference |access-date=October 29, 2018}} It was the first Olympic soccer competition in which officially professional players were allowed. Until then, the amateur-only rule had heavily favored socialist countries from the Eastern Bloc whose players were professionals in all but name. However, as agreed with FIFA to preserve the importance of the World Cup, the Olympic competition was restricted to players with no more than five "A" caps at tournament start, regardless of age. Specifically, they allowed teams from countries outside of UEFA and CONMEBOL to field their strongest sides, while restricting UEFA and CONMEBOL (the strongest confederations whose teams had played all finals and won every single World Cup title) countries to players who had not played in a World Cup.[https://www.footballhistory.org/tournament/summer-olympics.html Summer Olympics Football]{{Cite web |date=July 16, 1983 |title=Olympics Define Soccer Eligibility |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1983/07/16/sports/olympics-define-soccer-eligibility.html |access-date=September 15, 2024 |website=New York Times |page=20, Section 1}}{{Cite web |last=Harvey |first=Randy |date=1986-12-12 |title=IOC Takes Pro and Con Positions on Pros |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1986-12-12-sp-2552-story.html |access-date=2024-09-15 |website=Los Angeles Times |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |last=Litsky |first=Frank |date=March 30, 1986 |title=I.O.C.

The soccer tournament was held in four venues:

The Gold medal game between France and Brazil at the Rose Bowl attracted an Olympic Games soccer attendance record of 101,799. This remained the record attendance for a soccer game in the United States until 2014, breaking the previous Olympic record attendance of 100,000 set at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia for the game of the 1956 Olympic Games played between the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia. The Rose Bowl attendance would remain the Olympic record until 104,098 attended the game of the 2000 Summer Olympics between Cameroon and Spain at the Stadium Australia in Sydney.

The attendance also stood as the highest for a soccer game in the United States until 109,318 saw Manchester United defeat Real Madrid during the 2014 International Champions Cup at the Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor.
