Why is there an age limit on Paris Olympic Men's soccer?
Given that switch, FIFA, world soccer's governing body,
put various barriers in place for players competing in the Olympics,
which it didn't want to possibly usurp the World Cup as the premier international soccer showcase. One of those measures was an age
restriction. 2 days ago
