Refugee Olympic Team
The Refugee Olympic Team is a group of athletes who have fled their home countries due to conflict or persecution. This team competes in the Olympic Games to represent the resilience and determination of refugees worldwide. It was first introduced at the 2016 Rio Olympics to raise awareness about the global refugee crisis.
The team is supported by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which provides training and resources to help these athletes compete at the highest level. The inclusion of the Refugee Olympic Team aims to inspire hope and promote solidarity among refugees and displaced individuals around the world.
