Matches in DBpedia 2016-04 for { ?s ?p "The Germany national football team has been active since 1908, and first competed in the Olympic Games in 1912. Olympic football was originally an amateur sport, and as the pre-World War II German national team was also amateur, it was able to send a full national team to the games. After the war, Germany was divided, but until 1964 East and West competed together as the United Team of Germany. From 1968 West Germany began to compete on its own, but were still forced to send an amateur team, who were not able to match the success of their professional counterparts in the World Cup and European Championship. The rules on amateurism were relaxed in the 1980s, which allowed West Germany some success, notably a bronze medal finish in 1988, but this was their last appearance in the Olympic finals. Since 1992 the tournament has been competed by under-23 teams, and the last time Germany selected a specific Olympic team was 1998. Olympic qualification is now dependent on the results of the under-21 team."@en }
