The Syrian Olympic Committee (Template:Langx) is the National Olympic Committee in Syria for the Olympic Games movement. It is a non-profit organization that selects players and teams to represent the nation, and raises funds to send to Olympic events organized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).[1]
History
The Syrian Olympic Committee was established in 1948[2] and in the same year it was admitted to International Olympic Committee.[3][4]

A parallel unrecognized committee, named the Syrian National Olympic Committee, was created in 2016 during the Syrian civil war by the Syrian opposition claiming the legitimacy of Syria's representation at the Olympics, which was not recognized by the IOC.[6]
