No. of events	2 tournaments (men and women)

Football at the Pan American Games is the football tournament in the continental multi-sport event of the Pan American Games as a men's competition sport, since the first edition held in Buenos Aires 1951. The competition is organized by Panam Sports (also known as "Pan American Sports Organization").

The men's tournament have restricted the participation of elite players in various ways. Currently, squads for the men's tournament are required to be composed of under-23 players.

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.

The women's tournament was introduced in 1999, and is for senior national teams.
