Who Are the Organizers of the Olympic Games?
The creation was inspired by the ancient Olympic Games, held in Olympia, Greece from the 8th century BC to the 4th century AD.
Baron Pierre de Coubertin founded the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1894, leading to the first modern Games in Athens in 1896.
The IOC is the governing body of the Olympic Movement, which encompasses all entities and individuals involved in the Olympic Games. The Olympic Charter defines their structure and authority
The host city’s Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games (OCOG) is in charge of organizing this great event.
When the International Olympic Committee (IOC) selects a city to stage the Games, the city and the National Olympic Committee (NOC) of the host country create the OCOG which will organize the Games.
From the moment it is created, seven years before the Games, the OCOG works closely with the IOC.
Unlike the World Cup, the Olympic Games are not an official FIFA event, and clubs thus aren’t required to let players attend.
Women’s football was introduced as an Olympic sport at the 1996 Games in Atlanta. The U.S. won the first gold medal and became the dominant team, winning in 2004, 2008, and 2012.
At the 2024 Tokyo Olympics, 16 countries are competing in the men’s event, while the women’s side has 12 participating countries.
