The [[Association football|football]] competition at the [[1964 Summer Olympics]] started on 11 October and ended on 23 October. Only one event, the men's tournament, was contested. The tournament features 14 men's national teams from six continental confederations. The 14 teams are drawn into two groups of four and two groups of three and each group plays a [[round-robin tournament]]. At the end of the group stage, the top two teams advanced to the knockout stage, beginning with the quarter-finals and culminating with the gold medal match at the [[National Stadium (Tokyo, 1958)|Olympic Stadium]] on 23 October 1964. There was also three consolation matches played by losing quarter-finalists. The winner of these matches placed fifth in the tournament.<ref name="SR">{{cite web|url=https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/summer/1964/FTB/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200417072532/https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/summer/1964/FTB/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=17 April 2020 |title=Football at the 1964 Tokyo Summer Games |work=Sports Reference |access-date=16 October 2018}}</ref>

{{see also|Football at the 1964 Summer Olympics – Men's qualification}}
Regional qualifying tournaments were held. During the [[1964 CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament|CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament]] among South American national teams, a [[Estadio Nacional disaster|riot in Lima]] during the decisive [[Peru national football team|Peru]]–[[Argentina national football team|Argentina]] match, after Peru's equalizing goal in the last minutes was disallowed by the referee, resulted in 328 deaths, which was considered the worst football disaster in history.<ref>{{cite web|last=Edwards |first=Piers |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-27540668 |title=Lima 1964: The world's worst stadium disaster |publisher=bbc.co.uk |date=23 May 2014 |access-date=25 May 2014}}</ref> Due to the riot, further CONMEBOL matches were not played that year, except for a playoff between Brazil and Peru (won by Brazil), and Argentina qualified instead of Peru.

16 teams qualified, and were divided into four groups:
*''Group A'' ([[East Germany Olympic football team|United Team of Germany]] (which was ''de facto'' East Germany), [[Romania national football team|Romania]], [[Mexico national football team|Mexico]], [[Iran national football team|Iran]])
*''Group B'' ([[Hungary national football team|Hungary]], [[Yugoslavia national football team|Yugoslavia]], [[Morocco national football team|Morocco]], <s>[[North Korea national football team|Korea D.P.R.]]</s>)
*''Group C'' ([[Czechoslovakia national football team|Czechoslovakia]], [[Egypt national football team|United Arab Republic (Egypt)]], [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]], [[South Korea national football team|Korea Rep.]])
*''Group D'' ([[Japan national football team|Japan]], [[Ghana national football team|Ghana]], [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]], <s>[[Italy national football team|Italy]]</s>)
The two best teams of each group competed in the quarter-finals.

Ultimately, the tournament was played two teams short: 
*Italy were disqualified as their team was not [[amateur]]; Poland, who Italy had beaten to qualify, declined to take Italy's place due to a lack of preparation time. 
* North Korea withdrew from the entire Games before the Opening Ceremony after Japanese immigration officials refused six of their athletes entry.
