<!--Games-->

{{efn |name=1900Matches |France had four teams compete in 1900. Bronze medals were given to the losers of both semifinals; France took both bronze. }}

{{efn |name=1932Matches |At the 1932 Olympics, Brazil was disqualified after their players attacked the Hungarian referee at the end of their match against Germany. Their two matches were annulled. Therefore, Hungary and Japan won their games scheduled with Brazil, by forfeit.

<!--Teams-->

{{efn |name=FRYugoslavia |After the [[breakup of Yugoslavia]], [[FR Yugoslavia men's national water polo team]] participated at the 1996 and 2000 Olympics, and won a bronze medal in 2000. In 2003, after the country was renamed from FR Yugoslavia to Serbia and Montenegro, the team was also renamed to "[[Serbia and Montenegro men's national water polo team]]". }}

{{efn |name=SovietUnion |The Olympic Committee of the Soviet Union was formed on 21 April 1951, and was recognised by the International Olympic Committee on 7 May 1951. }}

{{efn |name=UnifiedTeam |In 1992, 12 of the 15 former Soviet Republics competed together as the Unified Team and marched under the Olympic Flag in the Barcelona Games. }}

{{efn |name=1968AustraliaCase |While Australia had qualified to compete as one of sixteen water polo teams, the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) did not endorse them.
