{{Details|Football at the 2004 Summer Olympics#Venues}}

The tournament was held in five venues across five cities:

• Karaiskakis Stadium, Piraeus
• Pankritio Stadium, Heraklion
• Pampeloponnisiako Stadium, Patras
• Kaftanzoglio Stadium, Thessaloniki
• Panthessaliko Stadium, Volos

Originally, the tournament was planned to form two groups of five teams in the group stage, then play a knockout stage by four teams (two top teams in each group).{{cite web|url=http://images.fifa.com/olympics/2004/regulations/OFT_2004_EEE.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040731215846/http://images.fifa.com/olympics/2004/regulations/OFT_2004_EEE.pdf|archive-date=31 July 2004|title=Regulations of the Olympic Football Tournaments Games of the XXVIIIth Olympiad Athens 2004|publisher=FIFA|url-status=dead|access-date=3 February 2017}}

The format is later changed: the tournament is to form three groups of three or four teams in the group stage, then play a knockout stage by eight teams (two top teams in each group and two best third-placed teams from three groups).{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/en/display/mrel,70970.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040420002500/http://www.fifa.com/en/display/mrel,70970.html|archive-date=20 April 2004|title=Olympic Football Tournaments: FIFA Emergency Committee approves venue and kick-off time for men's Final as well as format for women's competition|publisher=FIFA|date=28 July 2003|url-status=dead|access-date=3 February 2017}}
