Norway competed in the Olympic football tournament for the second time. The country's first Olympic victory was a stunning 3–1 win over Great Britain, the previously undefeated winner of three gold medals in three attempts. It would also turn out to be Norway's only victory in 1920, as the team was defeated by Czechoslovakia in the quarterfinals and by Italy in the first round of the consolation tournament.
