Were there programmes or teamsheets or anything available for individual football matches at the 2012 Olympics? And was there a football specific official brochure/programme?

I know there was a glossy daily magazine with a brief overview of what was going on in all sports, but was wondering if there was anything else.

There was a Football programme/brochure for the whole tournament

There was also a general Olympic programme for the whole month (with about 1 page about football)

ebay suggests there were also 3 x Team GB football programmes, each one covering both a mens and a womens match:

Team GB Men v Senegal / Team GB Women v New Zealand

Team GB Men v UAE / Team GB Women v Cameroon

Individual Programmes only for the Great Britain matches.

There is a specific programme that covered the whole of the tournament (see below)



I went to the Quarter final between Brazil and Honduras at St James Park and I don't recall seeing any official team sheets. Its one of the few games I never managed to get anything (except the programme). Even afterwards online from the official Fifa site.

Come to think of it I have never seen any team sheets from any of the games from the 2012 olympics.

There were certainly teamsheets for all the football matches (as there would have been for every Olympic Games event) in 2012. I was working at Hampden Park during the tournament and have a teamsheet for each of the eight games played there.

They were distributed in the Media Centre (where I was), and presumably to hospitality areas, but this must have been the last tournament where they were not distributed online.

All the end-of-match stats are on the FIFA website: https://www.fifa.com/tournaments/archive/mensolympic/london2012/matches/index.html but annoyingly they don't post the starting lineups.
