The United Kingdom national football team (often known as the Great Britain and Northern Ireland national football team or the Great Britain national football team) represents the United Kingdom (UK) in football at the Olympic Games. Separate teams for each Home Nation (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) compete in all other international competitions, including the World Cup and European Championships.
The United Kingdom team is currently not active, but may be reforming to compete in the Olympics in London in 2012. Previously, the UK took part in the Olympic Games (as well as playing a handful of friendly matches) from 1908 until 1972 before disbanding.
