Parkside Football Club 1897/2017
Professional players from these leagues were unable to compete due to the policies of amateurism
of the Olympic Games at the time.

The single demonstration match was played on the Main Stadium of the Olympic Games (the
Melbourne Cricket Ground).

It started at 4:10 pm on Friday, 7 December 1956, immediately after the "bronze medal" soccer
match between Bulgaria and India had finished (Bulgaria won 3–0).

Throughout the entire game, at which the Duke of Edinburgh was an interested spectator, a running
commentary attempted to explain the umpires' decisions to the audience; and those who were not
used to the game found it extremely useful.”
