The Football tournament at the 1952 Summer Olympics was won by Hungary.[1]
The games signalled the arrival (to Western Europeans at least) of the Hungary national team – the "Magical Magyars". Ferenc Puskás later said of the 1952 competition: "It was during the Olympics that our football first started to flow with real power."[2] It was during the Games that Stanley Rous of English Football Association invited the Hungarians to play a friendly at Wembley the following year.
