Afghanistan at the Olympics

Afghanistan has competed in 16 Summer Olympic Games since its debut in 1936. The nation has never appeared in the Winter Olympic Games. It has sent a delegation to 14 of the 19 subsequent Summer Games since then. It is organised by the National Olympic Committee of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. The Committee is currently in exile and presided by Hafizullah Wali Rahimi: the International Olympic Committee does not recognise the Taliban regime's Committee, headed by Ahmadullah Wasiq nor do they allow the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan to be represented at the Olympics.
