these players represented their national teams and qualified for the 2016 Summer Olympics men's football tournament in the 2015 UEFA European Under-21 Championship


Denmark

Pione Sisto 

On 8 May 2015, Sisto received official word of FIFA's dispensation decision, granting him the ability to immediately represent Denmark, without waiting the obligatory five years following his 18th birthday.

Sweden

Joseph Baffo 

Place of birth Accra, Ghana

Baffo was born to Ghanaian parents

Portugal

Raphaël Guerreiro

Place of birth, Le Blanc-Mesnil, France

William Carvalho

Place of birth, Luanda, Angola

So Fifa and the Olympic committee will have to take into consideration that two teams already qualified for the 2016 Olympics have fielded ineligible players (Sweden and Portugal) thats only looking at the 4 teams who qualified through europe. Without looking at the 52 teams that started qualification in March 2013. or the South American Youth Football Championship


Heres some links to the rules for Football at the 2016 Summer Olympics.

It also states:

 All athletes participating in the qualification events for the Rio 2016 Olympic Football Tournaments must be

born on/or after 01 January 1993. No over-age players will be permitted to participate in any qualification

competition matches.

and Papua New Guinea had a 25 year old in their team. 

Just reading this bullshark on wikipedia makes me think Vanuatu's appeal and OFC's decision 

"However, it was later decided to absorb the qualifying tournament into the Pacific Games, as the New Zealand team participated for the first time in the Pacific Games men's football tournament."

"New Zealand advanced to the Olympic Qualifying final, however were replaced by Vanuatu on the day of the final after the Oceania Football Confederation found that they had fielded an ineligible player, Deklan Wynne, in the semi-final and the match was declared a 3–0 victory for Vanuatu. New Zealand were unable to appeal before the final was played and have subsequently announced they would appeal."



Can someone tell me why Fifa's normal rules apply considering its a Olympic Qualifying Tournament and the Olympics have their own eligibility rules for Football in the Olympics which are stated on the Fifa-Olympic rules page?
