The IOC Refugee Olympic Team competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan, as independent Olympic participants.[1]
The IOC code is the French acronym "EOR", which stands for Équipe olympique des réfugiés.[1] This was the second appearance of a refugee team in the summer Olympics, following the 2016 Games.
For the 2020 Games, the team included 29 athletes, up from 10 in the 2016 team. The team comprised athletes originating from 11 nations who currently reside and train across 13 host nations, supported by the IOC's Olympic Scholarships for Refugee Athletes program.[2]
At the parade of nations, the IOC Team, according to the Japanese script traditional order and English pronunciation Ai Ō Shī of IOC in Japanese, was the second to parade after Greece who traditionally parade first.
