Olympic Solidarity


Olympic Solidarity is the organ within the IOC which is responsible for administering and managing the NOCs’ share of the broadcast rights from the Olympic Games. It redistributes these funds through diverse programmes according to the needs and priorities of the NOCs and their Continental Associations.

“The aim of Olympic Solidarity is to organise assistance to NOCs, in particular those which have the greatest need of it. This assistance takes the form of programmes elaborated jointly by the IOC and the NOCs, with the technical assistance of the International Federations (IFs), if necessary.”
