Silver, 30mm in diameter and suspended from a 37 mm x 11 mm bar, 18 gm, by Mermod & Jaccard. The medal features scalloped edges with a football raised in high relief, encircled "Association Football Championship," suspended from a bar that reads: "1904, Universal Exhibition, Olympic Games, St. Louis."

Soccer finals were held on November 23, 1904, in a tournament with just three participants: two teams representing the United States, both from the host city of St. Louis; and one from Canada, hailing from Galt, Ontario. Canada’s Galt Football Club defeated the American Christian Brothers College by a score of 3 to 2. An extremely rare, early soccer winner's medal—the first ever won by a United States team at the Olympics.
