Association of National Olympic Committees
The Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC) is an international organization that affiliates the current 206 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Every two years, it gathers all its members at the ANOC General Assembly, in which the ANOC Awards are awarded to NOCs and their athletes since 2014. The association organises the ANOC World Beach Games, a multi-sport event held every two years.
The ANOC was established in June 1979 during the Constitutive General Assembly in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The organization's purpose is for the IOC to manage the general affairs for the National Olympic Committees, to give them their support, advice, cooperation, and recommendations for their development.
On 8 July 2023, Talal Fahad Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah was elected president of the Olympic Council of Asia. Later that month, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) refused to recognise the result and asked Randhir Singh to continue as acting president while the election process was reviewed.
The IOC Executive Board imposed a three-year suspension on former OCA president Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah after approving recommendations from the IOC Ethics Commission. The commission found that Sheikh Ahmad had an "undeniable impact" on the election in support. of his brother's candidacy.
In October 2023, the IOC's Ethics Compliance Officer said that the election should be annuled and that Talal Fahad Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah's candidacy should have been declared ineligible from the outset.
In April 2026, the Court of Arbitration for Sport dismissed Sheikh Ahmad's appeal against the IOC Executive Board decision and upheld the three-year suspension. The panel found factual interference in the election process and concluded that the sanction was not disproportionate.
Its members are affiliated to one of five continental associations:
The organization was founded in 1979 under the presidency of Mario Vázquez Raña of Mexico. Since 2012, Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah of Kuwait has served as the ANOC president. He self-suspended himself in November 2018 and Robin Mitchell was elected ANOC President during the XXVI ANOC General Assembly held in Seoul, South Korea on October 20, 2022.
