Notes

A.^ A match between Uruguay and Argentina had been organized on 16 May 1901. Uruguay's team (and the match itself) was organized by Uruguayan club Albion and reinforced with players from rival club Nacional. The match ended 23 in favor of the Argentines. However, since clubs are not allowed to organize official international matches, the match is not considered official.[73]
B.^ Some sources credit the own goal to Peet Stol.
C.^ China were represented by club side South China A.A.; this match is not considered an official match for China.[74]
D.^ Japan were represented by a team from Tokyo Higher Normal School;[75] this match is considered an official match for Japan.[26]
E.^ China were represented by club side South China A.A.; this match is not considered an official match for China.[76]
F.^ Canadian representative sides played against the United States in 1885–86 and again in 1904; these are not considered to be official internationals. See the Canada International soccer team article for a detailed explanation.
G.^ Some sources credit the own goal to Roberto Figueroa of Uruguay.
