History
The Qatar Olympic Committee was formed in 1979 and recognized by the IOC in 1980.
Teams from Qatar have taken part in the Summer Olympic Games but is scheduled to its Winter Olympic Games debut in 2026.
After the 2008 Summer Olympics, Qatar was, along with Saudi Arabia and Brunei, one of only three countries to never send a female athlete to the Olympic Games. The International Olympic Committee in 2010 said it would "press" these countries to have women's participate. Then the Qatar Olympic Committee said it "hoped to send up to four female athletes in shooting and fencing" to the 2012 Summer Games in London.
