Football at the Pan American Games is an association football competition organized by Panam Sports in the continental multi-sport event of the Pan American Games. The men's tournament has been played since 1951, the women's tournament since 1999. The men's tournament has restricted the participation of elite players in various ways, while the women's tournament is for senior national teams.
The tournament was played in a league format from 1951 to 1963, neither the final nor bronze medal match was hosted. Another format was used in 1971, this time the tournament was played in a group format in the early stages, but played in a league format for the final stages. The 1983 tournament saw only 3 teams playing in the final group stages, with the first and final time the tournament did not have the fourth place team.
