1924 edit
The exact status of these four internationals played in 1924 is unclear.[according to whom?][citation needed] The 1924 FAI annual report, regarded them as full internationals, despite featuring entirely amateur teams.[1] In June 1999 both FIFA and the IFFHS also declared that between 1908 and 1956 every game at the Olympic football tournaments was a full international.[2] According to RSSSF, all four opponents that the Irish Free State played also regard these games as full internationals.[3][4][5][6]
