Uruguay's claim to the 1924 Olympic football gold medal has never been entirely uncomplicated — FIFA and the IOC long debated whether the pre-1936 football tournaments counted as official Olympic competition, a dispute that shadowed the centenary for decades before both bodies confirmed the 1924 and 1928 titles as legitimate. The Uruguayan squad that year beat Switzerland 3–0 in the Paris final, fielding a side that would go on to win the 1928 gold in Amsterdam and the 1930 World Cup.
Banco Central del Uruguay has issued football commemoratives intermittently since the 1970s, but the 2024 centenary issue carries unusual institutional weight given ongoing debates about amateur status in early Olympic football.
