National Olympic Committees (NOCs)

National Olympic Committees (NOCs) are organizations responsible for representing and coordinating their country's participation in the Olympic Games. They select athletes, organize training, and ensure adherence to Olympic rules. Each country has its own NOC, which works with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to promote Olympic values and sports development nationally. Essentially, NOCs serve as the bridge between their country's sports community and the international Olympic movement, fostering Olympic spirit and ensuring athletes from their country compete fairly and effectively on the world stage.
