"In Men?s Olympic Football, each 18-member squad must include at least 15 athletes less than 23 years of age. There is no age limit for the remaining three."

It's something to do with the fact that the olympics are supposed to be amateur, but because almost all players are professional they've had to allow them in, but with restrictions. Hence the age limit.
