The Team GB women's squad were eligible for qualification but did not qualify for Paris 2024. 

Great Britain entered a men's team in every Games from 1948 to 1972 but faced resistance from Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, who feared that competing as a single team could jeopardise their independence in FIFA and UEFA competitions.

BOA chief executive Andy Anson said a Team GB men's side at the US-hosted Games in four years would be "brilliant for football."

"I think for the women's team to compete is brilliant, and I'd love to see the men's team compete in the same way," he added.

A Team GB men's squad, featuring 13 English and five Welsh players, did compete for the host nation in what was seen as a one-off for the London Olympics in 2012.

The BOA could also face opposition from clubs, who may be reluctant to release their players during a congested summer period. The 2028 LA Olympics will take place from 14-30 July, just after the Euro 2028 final at Wembley and a few weeks before the start of the new league season.
