Question

Are team gb entering the football tournament in bejing 2008 if not why not?

Answer 1

GB does not currently have a team, this would require the co-operation of the 4 national football associations, England, N.Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

Because each of these FA's has a vote at FIFA conferences, there are those who wish them to become one association and therefore only get one vote.

There is resistance to this because each of the GB associations really has it's own identity, history, and even rules.

Although FIFA president Sepp Blatter has given assurances that a united GB Olympic team will not be forced to remain so, for future competitions, (World Cup etc), his assurances are not universally accepted.

Answer 2

No as it is going to happen in 2012. The Olympic comitee choses out of the applied Football associations
