- After 1988, the tournament has been restricted to squads with no more than 3 players over the age of 23, and these matches are not regarded as part of the national team's record, nor are caps awarded.
- Notes
- From 1996 on, medals won by Argentina were with the U-23 team, not the senior squad, as ruled by the IOC.
