List of men's Olympic football tournament hat-tricks
Domingo Tarasconi of Argentina holds the record for the most hat-tricks scored at the Summer Olympics with three.
Football at the Summer Olympics has been included in every Summer Olympic Games as a men's competition sport , except 1896 (the inaugural Games) and 1932 (in an attempt to promote the new FIFA World Cup tournament). Since the first official tournament in 1908 in England , 99 hat-tricks have been scored in over 1,000 matches of the 28 editions of the tournament. The first hat-trick was scored by Vilhelm Wolfhagen of the Denmark , playing against France B in 1908 ; the most recent was by Rafa Mir of Spain , playing against Ivory Coast on 31 July 2021 . The only Olympic Football Tournaments not to have at least one hat-trick scored were the 1976 , 2008 , 2012 and 2024 editions. The record number of hat-tricks in a single Olympic Football Tournament is twelve, during the 1928 Olympics in the Netherlands, including three in the Bronze medal match as Italy defeated Egypt 11–3.[ 1]
List
Vilhelm Wolfhagen was the first player to score a hat-trick in an Olympic football match, on 19 October 1908, while playing for Denmark against France B .
Four players have scored two hat-tricks in Olympic football matches: Vilhelm Wolfhagen (all in 1928 ); Antonín Janda (both 1920 ); Domingo Tarasconi (both 1970 ); and Ferenc Bene (1964 ).
Only one player has scored three hat-tricks in Olympic football matches: Domingo Tarasconi (all in 1928 ). Tarasconi achieved that with 4 goals in the first round against United States , another 4 goals in the quarter-finals against Belgium , and three goals in the semi-finals against Egypt .
There has been only one occasion when three hat-tricks have been scored in the same match . It occurred during the Bronze medal match of the 1928 edition , when Italy defeated Egypt 11–3, and Angelo Schiavo , Elvio Banchero and Mario Magnozzi , all playing for Italy, scored three goals, with the later starting his only in the 72' minute.[ 1] Furthermore, there have been twelve occasions when two hat-tricks have been scored in the same match , with the most recent occurring during the 2016 edition : when Germany defeated Fiji 10–0, and Nils Petersen and Max Meyer , both playing for Germany, scored 5 and 3 goals respectively.
The longest hat-trick to be completed (most time between the first and third goals), was scored by Kwame Ayew , who netted his first goal at 17', while the third goal came in extra time at 120+1'. Ayew achieved this feat in the 1992 Olympic Football Tournament , playing for Ghana against Paraguay in the quarter-finals.
The quickest hat-trick is Sophus Nielsen , who scored at 3', 4', and 6' in the 1908 Olympic Football Tournament , playing for Denmark against France in the semi-finals, and he went on to net more 7 times. This is also the briefest hat-trick to be completed (the shortest time between the first and third goals), as the time between his first and third a mere 3 minutes.
The only hat-trick scored by a substitute , is the one by Rafa Mir , in 2020 against Ivory Coast in the quarter-finals; he came on in the 90+2' minute, and scored at 90+3', 117', and 120+1'.[ 89]
