The England head coach's contract expires that year and he wants to go out on a high at the London Games.
Capello said: "I will be 66 by then and I will have reached retirement age. I would like to make one of my dreams come true then by taking part in the Olympic Games, something that I was denied as a player, and something that still fills me with regret."
There are fears a British team would jeopardise the international status of the home nations. But Capello said: "I think it's only fair that Great Britain should have a football team in the Olympics, but it is up to others to decide how, and with which players."
