Argentina will not defend their men's Olympic football title in London next year after they were pipped to the two South American qualifying places by Brazil and Uruguay at the weekend.

Brazil, who need the Olympic title to complete a full array of the major footballing prizes, won their third successive South American under-20 title in Peru with a 6-0 victory over Uruguay in their final match.
