A National Olympic Committee (NOC) is an organization responsible for overseeing the Olympic movement in a specific country. Each NOC is tasked with promoting the Olympic values, supporting athletes, and organizing their country's participation in the Olympic Games. They work closely with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to ensure that athletes receive the necessary resources and training. NOCs also play a crucial role in selecting athletes for the Olympic teams and managing the logistics of their participation. They often engage in fundraising and sponsorship efforts to support their athletes and promote sports at the grassroots level, fostering a culture of athletic excellence within their nations.
