The Spanish Olympic Committee (COE) is the governing body responsible for overseeing Spain's participation in the Olympic Games. Established in 1909, it coordinates the activities of various sports federations and promotes Olympic values throughout the country. The COE also supports athletes in their training and development, ensuring they are well-prepared for international competitions. In addition to managing Spain's Olympic teams, the COE organizes events and initiatives to foster sports culture and encourage youth participation in athletics. It plays a crucial role in selecting host cities for national and international competitions, contributing to the growth of sports in Spain.
